A Bio-inspired Sensor for Fluid Motion Detection

نویسنده

  • WILLIAM C EBERHARDT
چکیده

Biological hair fluid motion sensors can be found in a variety of animals such as arachnids, insects, crustaceans, fish, and mammals. These sensors display a wide range of geometrical sizes and dynamical characteristics affecting their sensitivity depending on their purpose. This paper examines a novel capacitance based sensor designed to detect fluid motion. The sensor was experimentally subjected to a variety of input signals to develop a theoretical model of the sensor response.

Distributed flow estimation and closed-loop control of an underwater vehicle with a multi-modal artificial lateral line.

Bio-inspired sensing modalities enhance the ability of autonomous vehicles to characterize and respond to their environment. This paper concerns the lateral line of cartilaginous and bony fish, which is sensitive to fluid motion and allows fish to sense oncoming flow and the presence of walls or obstacles. The lateral line consists of two types of sensing modalities: canal neuromasts measure ap...
