The book focuses on bionic sensing with artificial lateral line systems for fish-like underwater robots.

Guangming Xie received his B.S. degrees in both Applied Mathematics and Electronic and Computer Technology, his M.E. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering, and his Ph.D. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1996, 1998, and 2001, respectively. Then he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Center for Systems and Control, Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Peking University, Beijing, China from July 2001 to June 2003. In July 2003, he joined the Center as a lecturer. Now he is a Full Professor of Dynamics and Control in the College of Engineering, Peking University.
