The Performance Evaluation of Static Obstacle Recognition by Underwater Pressure Characteristics for Underwater Spherical Robot

Underwater spherical robots are flexible and often perform tasks in narrow, dark and complex environments. The artificial lateral line system inspired by the lateral line system of fish can recognize obstacles. However, currently, the recognition of obstacles under the artificial lateral line system is mainly based on the vibration characteristics of obstacles. Based on the blank recognition of static obstacles, this paper analyzes the feasibility of recognition static obstacles. A polynomial regression model is proposed to detect static obstacles (walls) by moving robots. Finally, the effectiveness of obstacle recognition is verified by experiment and simulation.
