Fish Lateral Line Inspired Flow Sensors and Flow-aided Control: A Review

Any phenomenon in nature is potential to be an inspiration for us propose new ideas. Lateral line a typical example which has attracted more interest recent years. With the aid of lateral line, fish capable acquiring fluid information around, great significance them survive, communicate and hunt underwater. In this paper, we briefly introduce morphology mechanism first. Then focus on development artificial typically consists array sensors can installed underwater robots. A series inspired by with different sensing principles have been summarized. And then applications system hydrodynamic environment vortices detection, dipole oscillation source autonomous control robots surveyed. addition, existing problems future foci field further discussed detail. The current works demonstrated that potentials research contributes
