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.
