Collective Motion in Active Materials: Model Experiments

Abstract
In these lecture notes from the Les Houches School, we discuss collective motion in model experiments of active systems. We specifically discuss walking grains and colloidal rollers experiments. In both cases, we focus on the theoretical tools one can use to relate the knowledge of the dynamics at the particle scale to the large scale physics.
