Flow Sensors for Underwater Robots and Oceanography
This talk will walk the audience through a story of being inspired by extraordinary cognitive skills of fish and sea mammals through see-it-works! laboratory prototypes to field deployable robot sensors and new applications. It will reflect upon how ideas develop and transform while the technology matures. Specifically, we explore the flow sensing of fish and sea mammals, attempts to copy and implement the technology and transformations of the ideas for underwater vehicles sensing and navigation, reconstruction of flow field for problem solving in physical oceanography and applications in aquaculture, harbour security and elsewhere.
