Survey of Artificial Lateral Line Systems

Lateral line systems are important sensing systems for underwater animals, especially for fish, which help the animal sense the surrounding hydrodynamic environment information effectively. Designing and installing artificial lateral line systems on underwater robots, especially on bionic robotic fish are now a novel direction and focus of underwater robotics. In this paper, we first introduce the structural characteristics and the sensing principles of fish lateral line system in nature. Then, we introduce the artificial lateral line systems including the realization principle and experimental research results. Finally, some difficulty and problems of artificial lateral line systems are analyzed and the direction of future development and application prospect are discussed.
