Soft bionic actuation explains the functional role of whisking in seal whisker sensing.. Seals exhibit exceptional ability to navigate and detect underwater prey with high precision, even in complete darkness using their ultra-sensitive whiskers. These whiskers combine two key adaptations: undulatory morphology, which suppresses self-induced vibrations and rhythmic whisking, which actively probes surrounding water. Most previous studies of whisker-based hydrodynamic sensing focused on static artificial whiskers, leaving the functional role of whisking largely unexplored. We show that undulated harbor seal whiskers exhibit threefold lower vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and over fiftyfold hi…
