A Novel Thermal Tactile Sensor Based on Micro Thermoelectric Generator for Underwater Flow Direction Perception.

ABSTRACT: Underwater vehicles can operate independently in the exploitation of marine resources. However, water flow disturbance is one of the challenges underwater vehicles must face. The underwater flow direction sensing method is a feasible way to overcome the challenges but faces difficulties such as integrating the existing sensors with underwater vehicles and high-cost maintenance fees. In this research, an underwater flow direction sensing method based on the thermal tactility of the micro thermoelectric generator (MTEG) is proposed, with the theoretical model established. To verify the model, a flow direction sensing prototype is fabricated to carry out experiments under three typical working conditions. The three typical flow direction conditions are: condition No. 1, in which the flow dire
