Collision Induced Binding and Transport of Shape Changing Robot Pairs
Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hosain Bagheri +7
We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. These physical `glider…
Local Stochastic Algorithms for Alignment in Self-Organizing Particle Systems
Hridesh Kedia, Shunhao Oh, Dana Randall
We present local distributed, stochastic algorithms for \emph{alignment} in self-organizing particle systems (SOPS) on two-dimensional lattices, where particles occupy unique sites…
Gliders in shape-changing active matter
Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hridesh Kedia +3
We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing smarticle robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. Borrowing te…
Soft topological modes protected by symmetry in rigid mechanical metamaterials
Hridesh Kedia, Anton Souslov, D. Zeb Rocklin
Topological mechanics can realize soft modes in mechanical metamaterials in which the number of degrees of freedom for particle motion is finely balanced by the constraints provide…
Drive-specific adaptation in disordered mechanical networks of bistable springs
Hridesh Kedia, Deng Pan, Jean-Jacques Slotine +1
Systems with many stable configurations abound in nature, both in living and inanimate matter. Their inherent nonlinearity and sensitivity to small perturbations make them challeng…
Helicity in Superfluids: existence and the classical limit
Hridesh Kedia, Dustin Kleckner, Martin W. Scheeler +1
In addition to mass, energy, and momentum, classical dissipationless flows conserve helicity, a measure of the topology of the flow. Helicity has far-reaching consequences for clas…
