Lateral line is a system of sense organs that can aid fishes to maneuver in a dark environment. Artificial lateral line (ALL) imitates the structure of lateral line in fishes and provides invaluable means for underwater-sensing technology and robot fish control. This paper reviews ALL, including sensor fabrication and applications to robot fish. The biophysics of lateral line are first introduced to enhance the understanding of lateral line structure and function. The design and fabrication of an ALL sensor on the basis of various sensing principles are then presented. ALL systems are collections of sensors that include carrier and control circuit. Their structure and hydrodynamic detection are reviewed. Finally, further research trends and existing problems of ALL are discussed.
侧线是一种感觉器官系统，可帮助鱼类在黑暗环境中 maneuver（此处原词有误，推测为“maneuver”，意为“巧妙地移动；操纵”）。人工侧线（ALL）模仿鱼类侧线的结构，为水下传感技术和机器鱼控制提供了宝贵的手段。本文综述了人工侧线，包括传感器制造及其在机器鱼中的应用。首先介绍侧线的生物物理学，以加深对侧线结构和功能的理解。然后介绍基于各种传感原理的人工侧线传感器的设计和制造。人工侧线系统是包括载体和控制电路的传感器集合。综述了它们的结构和流体动力学检测。最后，讨论了人工侧线的进一步研究趋势和存在的问题。
