Tunable pheromone interactions among microswimmers
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023 Significance Besides direct interactions, many creatures utilize indirect communication via pheromone-like shared memory fields, and exhibit a rich array of behavior. Field memory usually remains for a long time, affecting many individuals, or evaporates

Optimal navigation of microswimmers in complex and noisy environments
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We design new navigation strategies for travel time optimization of microscopic self-propelled particles in complex and noisy environments. In contrast to strategies relying on the results of optimal control theory or machine learning approaches ...

Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...
