This project investigates the flow sensing capabilities of seal whiskers to understand their prey-tracking mechanisms. By studying both live seals and lab experiments, it aims to develop biomimetic sensors for underwater robots, enhancing navigation and maneuverability in aquatic environments.
Marine animals employ diverse and fascinating flow sensing phenomena by exploiting the ambient complex fluid mechanics to track prey and escape from predators.
Seals are known for their remarkable long-distance prey-hunting capabilities owing to their whiskers which serve as ultrasensitive flow sensors.
For e.g., a seal is able to detect a fish swimming 180m away by following its vortex streets.
While the unprecedented tracking abilities of seals and the role played by seal whiskers in reducing…
