A Review of Biomimetic Artificial Lateral Line Detection Technology for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

摘要

Due to the disturbance of complex underwater environment in the existing acoustic and optical detection systems, it is difficult for the acoustic or optical detection system to obtain accurate near-field sensing information for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVS). This paper discusses the characteristics and difficulties of the detection technology for UUVS, and reviews the research advances with respect to the artificial lateral line (ALL) array and the signal processing. The key problems existing in the current researches are pointed out, including perception principle, layout and micro-process of ALL, and application of artificial intelligence algorithm and the approaches for solving these problems are discussed. After the above problems are solved, the ALL detection technology will have broad application prospects and application value in intelligent swarm detection for UUVS.
