Artificial lateral line sensing
Fish have evolved the lateral line sensing system over the last 200 million years. It can detect minute changes in the flow field near the fish’s body, allowing them to “touch at a distance”. In this talk, I will discuss the creation of bioinspired artificial lateral lines and highlight their uses to better understand sensory ecology, monitoring of hydraulic structures such as fishways, and point out the main challenges we face when developing and testing underwater distributed sensing technologies for both lab and field studies.
