In manufacturing, biologicalisation defines the analysis of biological patterns as a source inspiration to model intelligent manufacturing systems. This is highly desirable an answer increasing complexity modeling current engineering solutions which are required be self-organized, cooperative, and autonomous. Building on this line research, our paper introduces framework inspired by notion "reciprocal altruism" observed in species like vampire bats. The goal twofold; first, showcase bio-inspired methodological guidelines altruism context. Second, foster cooperative behaviors among its constitutive resources (equipment, machine, or robot that capable autonomously performing task). core idea revolves around assignment two roles: altruistic/donors recipients. context, individuals willing share their capabilities with those need, even at potential cost own fitness. We believe concept has versatile applications various scenarios, ranging from peer-to-peer energy sharing mobile robots load tool sharing. work, we instantiate control logic, functionalities, proof altruistic approach, focusing tool-sharing illustrative application. Our preliminary results demonstrate improvement when comparing approach manual one. particularly evident considering production downtime rate fluctuations caused defects. These findings underscore tangible benefits can offer addressing ongoing challenges smart especially terms design.
