Progress and Challenges of Underwater Biomimetic Flexible Sensing Technology in Flow Field Perception
The development and utilization of ocean resources has important strategic significance.It's urgent to carry out the researh of underwater high-sensitivity flow field sensing technology which can detect environment flow velocity,pressure gradient,and vortex,so as to enhance the autonomous and intelligent capabilities of un-derwater unmanned equipment.Notably,natural organisms have evolved numerous receptors with specialized structures that are sensitive to weak water flow over millions of years of evolution,which provides inspiration for the exploration of underwater biomimetic flexible sensing thchnology.An overview of underwater biomimetic flexible sensing technology inspired by fish lateral line,seal whiskers,crocodile skin,and electric eel,are com-prehensively analyzed,and their sensing mechanisms and performances are disscussed.Finally,the develop-ment prospect of underwater biomimetic flexible sensing technology is expected.
