Self Propelled Particle

Self-propelled particles (SPPs) are autonomous entities capable of independent movement and interaction, currently a focus of intense research. Studies explore both the design and control of microscopic SPPs, such as micro-robots with integrated electronics for sensing and actuation, and the collective behavior of larger SPP systems, often modeled using techniques like reinforcement learning and graph-based dynamical systems to understand pattern formation and navigation. This research aims to elucidate the fundamental principles governing SPP behavior and to develop advanced control strategies, with potential applications in areas like targeted drug delivery, microsurgery, and the study of complex systems.
