Computer Simulation of AUV Navigation System Using Fish Lateral Line Sensing Mechanism

Abstract:

Based on the study of fish lateral line sensing mechanism, integrated fluid dynamics, boundary layer theory, coupling theory and so on. To establish a neural network model similar to the fish neuromas model. After the numerical calculation and simulation analysis to simulate fish lateral line system, we can get the conclusions to apply to autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and target recognition. Provided a new method for AUV navigation and environment perception. Computer simulation results presented that based on the fish lateral line sensing mechanism to build a perception model, AUV can identify a new water condition distinguishably. This discovery can be used in navigation and positioning of AUV.
