Computer-Aided Biomimetics: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Computer-aided biomimetics is an interdisciplinary research field that combines computer science and biomimetics. Drawing inspiration from nature's excellent designs, computer-aided biomimetics utilizes computer modeling and simulation techniques to mimic biological systems and apply the derived design and optimization insights to engineering and scientific fields. It finds wide-ranging applications and potential in areas such as materials science, mechanical engineering, aerospace, medicine, energy, and many more. The emergence of computer-aided biomimetics opens up new possibilities for engineers and scientists to tackle real-world problems, and holds the potential to drive technological innovation and scientific progress in the future. Many advanced technologies have been applied to the field of computer-aided biomimetics.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to incorporate the latest research studies in the field of advanced methods and applications, from either theoretical or practical perspectives. The relevant topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following areas:

• Multi-scale modeling and design of material structures;
• Conceptual design and bio-structure design;
• Bionic functional surface and bionic structure processing;
• Mechanical structure and motion control of robots based on the bionics principle;
• Performance analysis and evaluation of computer-aided biomimetics;
• Multidisciplinary optimization algorithms for computer-aided biomimetics;
• Application of AI in computer-aided biomimetics;
• Other related research topics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
