Digitization Can Stall Swarm Transport: Commensurability Locking in Quantized-Sensing Chains
Caroline N. Cappetto, Penelope Messinger, Kaitlyn S. Yasumura +7
We present a minimal model for autonomous robotic swarms in one- and higher-dimensional spaces, where identical, field-driven agents interact pairwise to self-organize spacing and…

Informational Memory Shapes Collective Behavior in Intelligent Swarms
Shengkai Li, Trung V. Phan, Luca Di Carlo +5
We present an experimental and theoretical study of 2-D swarms in which collective behavior emerges from both direct local mechanical coupling between agents and from the exchange…

Social Physics of Bacteria: Avoidance of an Information Black Hole
Trung V. Phan, Shengkai Li, Domenic Ferreris +7
Social physics explores responses to information exchange in a social network, and can be mapped down to bacterial collective signaling. Here, we explore how social inter-bacterial…
