Due to the need for more sustainability and supply chain security, industrial production has to change.
Biointelligent systems can be a big part of the solution. By combining the benefits of digitization with the advantages of natural processes, production can be truly transformed to become more efficient, decentralized and sustainable.
The book gives a thorough and comprehensive overview of the concept of biointelligence, which has become the next big thing in engineering. Robert Miehe not only introduces existing theoretical approaches to biointelligence but also shows ways in which biointelligence can be applied practically. Examples include the development of biohybrid materials, the construction of cell-like products or the use of microorganisms that can produce hydrogen.
This book is for students and researchers in engineering as well as professionals in industry who are committed to making production more sustainable.
