Micro-Machined Flow Sensors Mimicking Lateral Line Canal Neuromasts
Fish sense water motions with their lateral line. The lateral line is a sensory system that contains up to several thousand mechanoreceptors, called neuromasts. Neuromasts occur freestanding on the skin and in subepidermal canals. We developed arrays of flow sensors based on lateral line canal neuromasts using a biomimetic approach. Each flow sensor was equipped with a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxan...
متن کاملDevelopment of Artificial Lateral-line Flow Sensors
Evolved over hundreds of millions of years, many fish species rely on lateral line sensors to monitor surrounding flow fields for maneuvering and survival under water [1]. It is conjectured that fish is equipped with distance touch sense of underwater obstacles, predators, and prey. A lateral line system, shown in Fig. 1, consists of an array of distributed sensor nodes (so called neuromasts) t...
متن کاملArtificial lateral line with biomimetic neuromasts to emulate fish sensing.
Hydrodynamic imaging using the lateral line plays a critical role in fish behavior. To engineer such a biologically inspired sensing system, we developed an artificial lateral line using MEMS (microelectromechanical system) technology and explored its localization capability. Arrays of biomimetic neuromasts constituted an artificial lateral line wrapped around a cylinder. A beamforming algorith...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of artificial lateral line flow sensors
Underwater flow sensing is important for many robotics and military applications, including underwater robots and vessels. We report the development of micromachined, distributed flow sensors based on a biological inspiration, the fish lateral line sensors. Design and fabrication processes for realizing individual lateral line sensor nodes are discussed in this paper, along with preliminary cha...
متن کاملThermal Flow Micro Sensors'
A review is given on sensors fabricated by silicon micromachining technology using the thermal domain for the measurement of fluid flow. Attention is paid especially to performance and geometry of the sensors. Three basic types of thermal jlow sensors are discussed: anemometers, calorimetric flow sensors and time of flight flow sensors. Anemometers may comprise several heaters and temperature s...
