Due to the particularity and complexity of the underwater environment, the perception ability of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has become a hot issue in recent years. In this paper, the detection system was developed for bioinspired Spherical Underwater Robots (SURs) based on the pressure sensor array. Firstly, the sensor array based on the SUR model was proposed using pressure sensors, adding new dimension to near-flow detection and perception method. Then, the detection system was constructed and the hydrodynamic pressure variables are analyzed. Next, the data acquisition of the pressure sensor array was described. Furthermore, the SUR prototype was assembled carrying the pressure sensor array. Finally, a series of locomotion experiments were performed to verify its performance. The experimental results validated the effectiveness of the proposed detection system, which had a certain reference value for AUV underwater detection and state estimation.

Relying only on behaviors that emerge from simple responsive controllers; swarms of robots have been shown capable of autonomously aggregate themselves or objects into clusters without any form of communication. We push these controllers to the limit, requiring robots to sort themselves or objects into different clusters. Based on a responsive controller that maps the current reading of a line-of-sight sensor to a pair of speeds for the robots' differential wheels, we demonstrate how multiple tasks instances can be accomplished by a robotic swarm. Using the dividing rectangles approach and physics simulation, a training step optimizes the parameters of the controller guided by a fitness function. We conducted a series of systematic trials in physics-based simulation and evaluate the performance in terms of dispersion and the ratio of clustered robots/objects. Across 20 trials where 30 robots cluster themselves into 3 groups, an average of 99.83% of them were correctly clustered into their group after 300 s. Across 50 trials where 15 robots cluster 30 objects into 3 groups, an average of 61.20%, 82.87%, and 97.73% of objects were correctly clustered into their group after 600 s, 900 s, and 1800 s, respectively. The object cluster behavior scales well while the aggregation does not, the latter due to the requirement of control tuning based on the number of robots.

The increasing demand for energy in urban environments necessitates innovative solutions to harness untapped energy sources and enhance energy efficiency. In the context of Bahrain's efforts toward sustainable smart city development, this research article presents a comprehensive study on power generation using speed breakers as a novel energy-harvesting mechanism to supplement the electricity grid and promote energy efficiency in urban areas. The proposed energy-harvesting speed breaker (EHSB) system using rack-and-pinion mechanism employs a mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion mechanism, transforming the kinetic energy generated by vehicles passing over speed breakers into electrical energy. The study includes the design, construction, and testing of a prototype of the power generation system using speed breakers. The results of the study show that the EHSB system is a viable and sustainable method for generating electricity. The system is capable of generating significant amounts of energy, and it has the potential to contribute to the energy needs of communities located near highways and busy roads. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for Bahrain's policymakers, urban planners, and energy stakeholders, highlighting the potential of innovative energy-harvesting solutions such as the energy-harvesting speed breaker system in promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in urban environments. By incorporating the EHSB system into Bahrain's smart city development strategy, the nation can take a significant step toward a greener, more energy-efficient future.
