In this book, leading scientists in the fields of sensory
biology, neuroscience, physics and engineering explore the basic
operational principles and behavioral uses of flow sensing in
animals and how they might be applied to engineering applications
such as autonomous control of underwater or aerial vehicles.
Although humans possess no flow-sensing abilities, countless
aquatic (e.g. fish, cephalopods and seals), terrestrial (e.g.
crickets and spiders) and aerial (e.g. bats) animals have flow
sensing abilities that underlie remarkable behavioral feats.These
include the ability to follow silent hydrodynamic trails long after
the trailblazer has left the scene, to form hydrodynamic images of
their environment in total darkness, and to swim or fly efficiently
and effortlessly in the face of destabilizing currents and
winds.
