Microbots: Propulsion and Control

Tom Montenegro-Johnson (University of Birmingham) Cambridge Fluids Network - fluids-related seminars 11 July 2019 1:00pm MR11, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge When trying to control microbots, Whether there's few, or there's lots, By changing their form, They exit the swarm, Arriving at all different spots. I will focus on two aspects of the design of self-diffusiophoretic particles, topology and flexibility, and how these properties can be harnessed to generate novel behaviour, additional functionality, and fine control.
