Abstract

Abstract

With the continuous advancement of underwater technologies, underwater bionic sensing has become one of the key means to promote the advancement of marine science and technology. By mimicking the sensory mechanisms of aquatic organisms—such as seal whisker sensing, fish lateral line systems, and octopus tentacle sensing—this technology enables underwater robots, wearable devices, and other underwater systems to achieve more precise target recognition, positioning, and information acquisition capabilities. This paper reviews the current research status and developmental trajectory of underwater bionic sensing, focusing on the design principles and material selection of bio-inspired sensors, as well as their applications in underwater target detection, robot navigation and obstacle avoidance, and wearable devices. It also explores the practical application prospects and existing challenges of the technology, while highlighting its broad potential in future fields such as underwater robotics, marine exploration, and environmental monitoring. Finally, potential directions for enhancing the performance of underwater bionic sensing and expanding its application scope are proposed.
