Small-object detection and avoidance in unknown environments is a significant challenge to overcome for small autonomous vehicles that are generally highly agile and restricted in payload and computational processing power. Typical machine-vision and range measurement based solutions suffer either f…
Kapton strain-based hair sensors were designed and fabricated to measure flow on a micro air vehicle. The fabrication process is carried out using a single mask and a combination of cleanroom and regular lab room processing. The processing resulted in successful realization of 6.4 mm long sensors wi…
Weakly electric fish use a navigational technique called electrolocation to investigate their surroundings for predator, prey and obstacles. Obstacles and other global stimuli are perceived as perturbations to the fish's self-generated electric field, which provide relevant navigational cues to the…
