The goal of this guideline is to present bionic information processing to interested scientists and engineers as an alternative approach for solving information processing problems in technical systems. Bionic information processing is modeled on biological information processing. This guideline concentrates on the aspects of bionic information processing that are relevant to applications. Bionic information processing is the technical implementation of the information processing systems of relevant biological mechanisms and structural principles of organisms and their nervous systems. Therefore the goal is to analyze, understand, and abstract the interaction and method of operation of biological sensors, nerves, and the skeletal muscle system (actuator system) and to make them accessible to technology. The results can come in the form of algorithms that can be used in software or structural insights that can then be implemented in hardware. The guideline discusses the various aspects with the help of examples.
