Researchers have developed soft, magnetic hair flow sensors designed for autonomous underwater robots. The sensors allow the robots to measure their speed and detect objects located upstream.
The sensors are described as soft and magnetic, enabling them to respond to water flow around the robot. This design supports measurement of the robot's speed through the water.
The sensors can also identify objects positioned upstream from the robot. The study presents these capabilities as a potential tool for underwater exploration.
