“…Depending on the optical sensing mechanism employed, optical whisker sensors can assume diverse configurations. For instance, in the research conducted by Wang et al, whisker sensors were meticulously designed and produced using optical polymer-formed whiskers [72], as visually represented in Figure 2A. These whiskers, emerging from the central core of a seven-core optical fiber (SCF), connect to solid pendulums, thereby forming six parallel Fabry-Pérot interferometers between the SCFs.…”

Perception plays a pivotal role in both biological and technological interactions with the environment. Recent advancements in whisker sensors, drawing inspiration from nature’s tactile systems, have ushered in a new era of versatile and highly sensitive sensing technology. Whisker sensors, which mimic the tactile hairs of mammals, offer both high sensitivity and multifunctionality. They excel in capturing fine-grained environmental data, detecting various stimuli with precision, and finding applications in diverse domains. This review explores the integration of whisker sensors in potential marine applications. Categorized into six types, these sensors are invaluable for tasks such as marine structure monitoring, measurement instruments, tactile perception in marine robots, and non-contact sensing in the marine environment. Challenges and potential solutions are examined, along with the prospects of whisker sensors in the field of marine science and engineering. In an era that demands adaptable sensing solutions, whisker sensors emerge as pivotal components, enabling machines and devices to perceive and respond to external stimuli with heightened sensitivity and versatility. Their application in the marine domain holds substantial promise, propelling advancements in the realms of marine science and engineering.
