Abstract

The invention proposes a wide-area water flow sensing method based on an underwater bionic spherical / hemispherical robot group. The robot includes a spherical / hemispherical casing and a pressure sensor array, and the pressure sensor array is arranged along the circumference of the casing. The method includes the following steps: 1. Determine the upstream surface pressure sensor in the pressure sensor array, read the data of the upstream surface pressure sensor, and calculate the pressure sensed by each upstream surface pressure sensor; Step 2, compare the pressure and water flow sensed by each of the upstream surface pressure sensors. The pressure on the water-facing surface of the robot and the angle between the vertical direction of the sensing surface of the pressure sensor with the largest reading and the water flow direction are used as parameters to solve the water flow direction and water flow intensity. The invention solves the problem that the miniaturized underwater robot cannot realize the perception of the water flow intensity and the water flow direction, and can complete the real-time recording and drawing of the wide-area environmental water flow information according to the perception information of the robot group, and the realization cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater robot perception, and in particular relates to a wide-area water flow perception method based on an underwater bionic spherical / hemispherical robot group. Background technique [0002] The underwater environment is complex and diverse, and it is difficult to explore the ocean, especially in the deep sea area, where there is a lack of light, high pressure, and lack of oxygen. It is difficult for humans to operate in such an extreme environment. Therefore, more and more people have begun to entrust the task of exploring the ocean to underwater robots. Inspired by the lateral line sensing organs of aquatic organisms, the artificial line survey system has attracted more and more researchers' attention due to its advantages of flexible distribution and low power consumption. [0003] The current bionic fish based on the artificial lateral line system can realize its own attitude perception, such as speed and...
