Today, the vast majority of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors are
mechanically rigid and therefore suffer from disadvantages when used in intimately …

The fluid mechanics employed by aquatic animals in their escape or attack maneuvers, what
we call survival hydrodynamics, are fascinating because the recorded performance in …

The use of Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) based piezoelectric nanofibers for sensing and
actuation has been reported widely in the past. However, in most cases, PVDF piezoelectric …

Using biological sensors, aquatic animals like fishes are capable of performing impressive
behaviours such as super-manoeuvrability, hydrodynamic flow 'vision'and object localization …

Hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanorods has been widely used for the development of tactile
sensors, with the aid of ZnO seed layers, favoring the growth of dense and vertically aligned …

Wall fluctuating pressure in the boundary layer is critical for physical understanding of the
surface flow and detection resolution optimization of the underwater vehicle (UV). In this …

Harbor seal whiskers possess a unique geometry along the length of the whisker which is
believed to suppress vortex induced vibrations (VIV) in frontal flows. This paper presents the …

In this work, a MEMS piezoresistive micro pressure sensor (1.5× 1.5× 0.82 mm) is designed
and fabricated with SOI-based micromachining technology and assembled using anodic …

There have been increasing demands for stretchable and highly sensitive sensors for use in
structural health monitoring, human motion capturing, sport performance monitoring and …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have changed the way marine environment is
surveyed, monitored and mapped. Autonomous underwater vehicles have a wide range of …
