Imagine how easy moving would be if you had a robotic swarm that schlepped all your stuff?🦾🤖📦 Turns out that instead of cooperating, additional robots get in each other’s way.🤦🏽 A research paper from my group published today offers a simple solution🍎 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

A mechanical route for cooperative transport in autonomous robotic swarms

Nature Communications - Cooperative transport in ants inspires applications in robotic swarms yet poses a challenge in decentralized control. The authors designed a robotic swarm where cooperative...

We found that cooperative transport (think ants🐜) can spontaneously emerge in a swarm of noisy robots 🤖 from mechanical interactions alone⚙️. It even improves with increasing payload size🦾. Information on the talk (today) and recent preprint in the first comment @APSphysics

Come today to the session M38 (RoboPhysics IV, room 103D) at the APS March Meeting at 10:24, Minneapolis arxiv.org/abs/2402.05659 @APSphysics

A Mechanical Route for Cooperative Transport in Autonomous Robotic Swarms

Cooperative transport is a striking phenomenon where multiple agents join forces to transit a payload too heavy for the individual. While social animals such as ants are routinely observed to...

Adding dance to your courting rituals may improve your reproduction chances, even if you are microscopic algae. In our work, just published in Nature Communications, we synthetically reproduced dynamics previously observed in such microscopic organisms. Link in the first comment

Hydrodynamic spin-orbit coupling in asynchronous optically driven micro-rotors

Nature Communications - Hydrodynamically coupled rotors can be used to describe interactions ranging from molecular machines to atmospheric dynamics. Modin et al. show that optically-driven rotors...

Did you know that you can interrupt aging by forming memories? In our work just published in Physical Review Letters (with Mengshi Wei and Olivier Dauchot), we found this to be the case for light-activated quasi-2D disordered elastic networks. Video by Mengshi Wei. @ESPCI_Paris
