Reinforcement learning of a biflagellate model microswimmer
Sridhar Bulusu, Andreas Zöttl
Many microswimmers are able to swim through viscous fluids by employing periodic non-reciprocal deformations of their appendages. Here we use a simple microswimmer model inspired b…
Neuroevolution of Decentralized Decision-Making in N-Bead Swimmers Leads to Scalable and Robust Collective Locomotion
Benedikt Hartl, Michael Levin, Andreas Zöttl
Many microorganisms swim by performing larger non-reciprocal shape deformations that are initiated locally by molecular motors. However, it remains unclear how decentralized shape…
Dynamics of squirmers in explicitly modeled polymeric fluids
Andreas Zöttl
Biological microswimmers such as bacteria and sperm cells often encounter complex biological fluid environments. Here we use the well-known squirmer microswimmer model to show the…
Microswimmers learning chemotaxis with genetic algorithms
Benedikt Hartl, Maximilian Hübl, Gerhard Kahl +1
Various microorganisms and some mammalian cells are able to swim in viscous fluids by performing nonreciprocal body deformations, such as rotating attached flagella or by distortin…
Mesoscale modelling of polymer aggregate digestion
Javor K. Novev, Amin Doostmohammadi, Andreas Zöttl +1
We use mesoscale simulations to gain insight into the digestion of biopolymers by studying the break-up dynamics of polymer aggregates (boluses) bound by physical cross-links. We i…
Frequency-dependent higher-order Stokes singularities near a planar elastic boundary: implications for the hydrodynamics of an active microswimmer near an elastic interface
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Christina Kurzthaler, Christian Hoell +6
The emerging field of self-driven active particles in fluid environments has recently created significant interest in the biophysics and bioengineering communities owing to their p…
