We numerically examine a bidisperse system of active and passive particles coupled to a resource substrate. The active particles deplete the resource at a fixed rate and move toward regions with higher resources, while all of the particles…

We consider the problem of understanding the coordinated movements of biological or artificial swarms. In this regard, we propose a learning scheme to estimate the coordination laws of the interacting agents from observations of the swarm's…

We propose a new kind of collective motion where swarms of simple agents are able to find and fix the solution of two-dimensional mazes. The model consists of active memoryless particles interacting exclusively via short-ranged perception…

We present a comprehensive computational study of the collective behavior emerging from the competition between self-propulsion, excluded volume interactions and velocity-alignment in a two-dimensionnal model of active particles. We…

Animal collective behavior is often modeled with self-propelled particles, assuming each individual has ``omniscient'' knowledge of its neighbors. Yet, neighbors may be hidden from view and we do not know the effect of this information…

Computational models of collective behavior in birds has allowed us to infer interaction rules directly from experimental data. Using a generic form of these rules we explore the collective behavior and emergent dynamics of a simulated…

Active matter physics and swarm robotics have provided powerful tools for the study and control of ensembles driven by internal sources. At the macroscale, controlling swarms typically utilizes significant memory, processing power, and…

We use probabilistic methods to study properties of mean-field models, arising as large-scale limits of certain particle systems with mean-field interaction. The underlying particle system is such that $n$ particles move forward on the real…

We introduce and investigate a new model of a finite number of particles jumping forward on the real line. The jump lengths are independent of everything, but the jump rate of each particle depends on the relative position of the particle…

Systems composed of strongly interacting self-propelled particles can form a spontaneously flowing polar active fluid. The study of the connection between the microscopic dynamics of a single such particle and the macroscopic dynamics of…
