Emergent Self-Organisation of Intelligent Active Particles
Abstract
Intelligent active particles are characterized by self-propulsion, directional sensing of their environment, information processing, decision making and goal-oriented self-steering. This implies, in particular, the prevalence of non-reciprocal interactions, and the importance of information propagation through agent groups. Examples include biological systems (cells, insects, birds, fish, pedestrians) as well as engineered systems (nano- and microbots). As many agents move in an aqueous medium, hydrodynamic interactions strongly affect the dynamics. The emergent dynamics includes the formation of swarms and flocks, predator-prey behavior, and the navigation in complex environments.
