人類製造器物，已有數十萬年的歷史，而人類天生就有模仿能力與本能，故自然界的萬物，一直是人類仿效與學習的對象，其生物所呈現的外形意象，更是人們嘗試追尋與轉化體現之目標。設計師透過模仿自然萬物的方式，充分運用其形態、功能與色彩等特徵屬性，將生物的風格意象進行轉化，創造出精美的產品概念設計，以解決人類生活上的問題。隨著科技之演進，一般產品變得更加多元，如何將生物的外形特徵意象進行轉化，並產生創新之產品方案，值得進一步探討。基於此，本研究將以現今市面上之咖啡機設計為案例，進行仿生造形之研究。本研究先針對生物特徵屬性進行仿生物種之蒐集與分析，與資料庫建構，再結合因素分析與模糊評價分析，建立生物造形特徵之意象形容詞語彙評價於系統中，以提供相關性與合適性之生物形態特徵與物種資料，給予產品設計人員於產品造形設計之參考。最後，本研究經由建構之系統中，搜尋適宜咖啡機外形之仿生特徵，進行概念設計，以探討應用仿生概念於產品設計之效用與可行性。依本研究之發展結果得知，透過生物外形特徵、意象形容詞語彙與資料庫系統的結合，將可客觀並有效提供相關與合適的仿生造形物種，作為產品造形設計與發展之依據。

Human has long been possessing the intrinsic capability of imitation on making objects for use since the human existed in the earth. Some animals or plants with specific appearance and characteristics are the targets for imitation. Designers also imitate these animals and plants on their appearances, functions and colors and create new designs to solve human living problems. However, the improvement of human living quality has made products become various and complicated. The transformation of bionic concept into the innovative product is worthy of further exploration. The objective of this paper is then using bionic concept in the design of coffee makers to explore the applicability of bionics design. The research first collected and analyzed the characteristics of creature and developed a database. The factor analysis and fuzzy evaluation analysis are used to construct adjective vocabulary for the identification of relationships of characteristic attributes among the creature. The form design process of coffee makers is employed based on the bionic concept. It is expected that the proposed approach of using bionic concept in product form design will provide designers with an alternative way of product form generation.
