Recommendable! Amazing stuff!
"... Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich proposed modeling the way in which weakly electric fish perceive their environments. They say that their algorithm, which observes objects via electrosensing, could be used to improve the capabilities of underwater robots. ...
weakly electric fish like the knifefish and elephantnose fish ... sense their environment via electric fields, detecting and locating targets based on the distribution of electrical current over their skin. ... These fish have specialized electric organs that discharge small voltages into the surrounding water, creating their own personal electric fields. Nearby objects cause slight disruptions to these fields, which the fish detect with sensitive organs on their skin called electroreceptors. ...
To test their recognition algorithm, the authors simulated a fish with 1,024 electroreceptors evenly distributed throughout its body that made three circular orbits around an object. ..."

Here is the respective research paper:
Multi-scale Classification for Electrosensing (unfortunately, the abstract is very abstract and does not explain their research very well)
