Aquatic systems are highly interconnected, which allow fish to traverse long distances, to dive through a water column, and, for some species, to move between fresh and saltwater environments. There is critical and urgent need for long-life unremitting fish monitoring technologies that can help with understanding fish behavior, selecting offshore wind farm sites, operating hydroelectric power plants, and assessing environmental impacts of marine hydrokinetic energy systems. The total market value of global telemetry including fish telemetry tags is estimated to reach $243 billion by 2020. Current fish telemetry tags are constrained by the limited lifetime of batteries, and periodic battery replacements are expensive and harmful to the fish. Another challenge is how to attach these tags to a fish with minimum impact on its normal life. Implanting a tag inside a fish body constitutes a complicated surgery process with the risk of impeding the fish life, and the mechanical clamping to the fin may negatively affect the fish motions. Therefore, this proposal aims at investigating a self-powered strategy and a bio- inspired attachment method for fish telemetry tags through energy harvesting from the surrounding fluid and fish maneuvering.The goals of this GOALI project are to design and validate a novel bio-inspired attachment with a minimal influence on fish life and mobility and a bio-inspired broadband energy harvester to achieve a self-powered fish telemetry tag. The proposed bio-inspired fish tag consists of a bio-inspired bi-stable energy harvester, a bio-inspired sucking disc, an acoustic transmitter, and an integrated circuit board that contains both the transmission circuit, sensors, and the energy-harvesting management circuit. Particularly, the principle behind the Venus flytrap will be fully understood to investigate the snap-through dynamics of the proposed bi-stable galloping piezoelectric harvester subjected to the combined excitations from fish maneuver and fluid flow. The remora-shark "symbiotic relationship" will be studied and used to guide the design of the bio-inspired sucking pad with stiff metal-based teeny spikes (in mimic the lamellar spinules) to attach the harvester on the fish. The specific work scope includes (1) a bio-inspired design of an attachment mechanism and a self-power sensing and communication system, (2) modeling of the fluid-structure-piezoelectric interaction, (3) the bio-inspired dynamics of the bi-stable piezoelectric energy harvester under complex excitations, and (4) experimental validation on robotic fish, live fish, and on-site demonstrations to investigate the performance and the influence of harvester on the fish life and mobility. The research is integrated with an educational and outreach plan, including course development, undergraduate research, K-12 students and teachers, and opportunities for minorities and women. The active collaboration between the two universities and industry will guide fundamental research to solve a critical industry need and enable wide dissemination and accelerated implementation of developed knowledge with immediate industry impacts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

水生系统是高度相互关联的，这使得鱼类能够长途跋涉，潜入水柱，对某些物种来说，可以在淡水和咸水环境之间移动。迫切需要长期不懈的鱼类监测技术，以帮助了解鱼类行为，选择海上风电场，运营水力发电厂，并评估海洋流体动力能源系统的环境影响。到2020年，包括鱼类遥测标签在内的全球遥测技术的总市场价值估计将达到2430亿美元。目前的鱼类遥测标签受到电池寿命有限的限制，定期更换电池既昂贵又对鱼类有害。另一个挑战是如何将这些标签贴在鱼身上，同时对其正常生活的影响最小。将标签植入鱼体内构成复杂的手术过程，具有妨碍鱼生命的风险，并且机械夹紧到鳍可能对鱼的运动产生负面影响。因此，本项目旨在研究一种自供电策略和一种通过从周围流体和鱼类操纵中收集能量的鱼类遥测标签的仿生附着方法。本GOALI项目的目标是设计和验证一种对鱼类生命和移动性影响最小的新型仿生附着装置和一种仿生宽带能量收集器，以实现自供电的鱼类遥测标签。所提出的生物启发的鱼标签由生物启发的双稳态能量采集器、生物启发的吸盘、声学发射器和包含发射电路、传感器和能量采集管理电路的集成电路板组成。 特别是，金星捕蝇草背后的原理将被充分理解，以调查的快速通过动力学的建议的双稳态驰振压电采集器受到的组合激励，从鱼的机动和流体流动。将研究鲨鱼与鲨鱼的“共生关系”，并将其用于指导设计具有坚硬金属基微小尖刺（模仿片状刺）的生物吸垫，以将采集器附着在鱼身上。具体工作范围包括（1）附着机构和自供电传感和通信系统的生物启发设计，（2）流体-结构-压电相互作用的建模，（3）复杂激励下双稳态压电能量采集器的生物启发动力学，以及（4）机器鱼，活鱼，以及实地示范，以研究捕鱼机的性能及对鱼类生命和流动性的影响。该研究与教育和推广计划相结合，包括课程开发，本科生研究，K-12学生和教师以及少数民族和妇女的机会。这两所大学和工业界之间的积极合作将指导基础研究，以解决关键的工业需求，并使广泛传播和加速实施已开发的知识，并立即产生行业影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
