A Survey on Underwater Bionic Electric Perception

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.20-0759

Abstract

Abstract: Sensing and detection technologies for underwater robots in complex underwater environments have been urgently needed.Weakly electric fields-based underwater bionic electric perception is a promising technical route.A kind of fish in nature,called weakly electric fish,can perceive their surrounding environment and other creatures through the varied electric field generated by themselves.Inspired by the electric fish,researchers have focused on the principle and methods of underwater perception based on weakly electric fields and the applications for intelligent underwater robots.The biological mechanism of weakly electric fish,the modeling and perception theory of underwater electric field,the underwater electric perception technology,and their applications are reviewed,and the future development trend of underwater bionic electric perception technology is prospected.

Key words: intelligent underwater robot, weakly electric fish, underwater perception, bionic electric perception, object perception, bionic electric-field communication
