SIAM News:
While humans may struggle to navigate a murky, turbid underwater environment, weakly electric fish can do so with ease. These aquatic animals are specially adapted to traverse obscured waters without relying on vision; instead, they sense their environment via electric fields.
Now, researchers are attempting to adapt these electrosensing techniques to improve underwater robotics.
Scientists have spent years studying how weakly electric fish including the knife fish and elephantnose fish utilize electricity for navigation. These fish have specialized electric organs that discharge small voltages into the surrounding water, creating their own personal electric fields. Nearby objects cause slight disruptions to these fields,
