Flow Sensing In Air And Water

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.
