Humans learn blindness to navigate the media
Scientists have developed artificial systems, inspired by the dwarf cave dwellers, to better assist AUV navigation.
Scientists have developed artificial systems, inspired by the dwarf cave dwellers, to better assist AUV navigation.
Often, AUVs use cameras, ultrasound or underwater navigation systems. However, the camera is not effective when used in dirty water. The other two systems are more efficient in these cases but they are expensive and energy intensive.
The new system simulates the lateral line (sensory cell) of blind fish, which uses very little energy and does not emit harmful harm to aquatic animals.
Combined with the computer vision system, the new system allows AUVs to create 3D images around objects and create maps of the surrounding space. In addition to the AUV, the team hopes the system can be applied to military submarines.
