AB  - It is of interest to exploit the insight from the lateral line system of fish for 
      flow sensing applications. In this paper, a novel fish canal lateral 
      line-inspired pressure difference sensor is proposed by embedding an ionic 
      polymer-metal composite (IPMC) sensor within a canal filled with viscous fluid. 
      Such a sensor could be used by underwater robots and vehicles for object 
      detection, angle of attack measurement, and source localization. Unlike the 
      biological counterpart that has open ends on the surface of the body, the 
      proposed sensor has two pores covered with a latex membrane, which prevents the 
      canal fluid from mixing with the ambient fluid. The design and fabrication of the 
      sensor are presented, where the sensor is integrated with a fish-like body. The 
      sensor output is experimentally characterized as the fish-like body is rotated 
      with respect to a dipole source, which confirms that the sensor is capable of 
      capturing the pressure difference between the two pores. Finite element modeling 
      and simulation that capture fluid-structure interactions and IPMC physics are 
      conducted to shed light on the sensor behavior. Finally, the utility of the 
      sensor in underwater robotics is illustrated via orienting the fish-like body 
      towards the dipole source using feedback from the proposed sensor.
