MEMS sensors for assessing flow-related control of an underwater biomimetic robotic stingray.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A major difference between manmade underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) and undersea animals is the dense arrays of sensors on the body of the latter which enable them to execute extreme control of their limbs and demonstrate super-maneuverability. The...

Behavior, Electrophysiology, and Robotics Experiments to Study Lateral Line Sensing in Fishes.

Integrative and comparative biology
The lateral line system is a sensory system unique to fishes and amphibians. It is composed of distributed mechanosensory hair cell organs on the head and body (neuromasts), which are sensitive to pressure gradients and water movements. Over the last...
