Abstract Swarms of self-organizing bots are becoming important elements in various technical systems, which include the control of bacterial cyborgs in biomedical applications, technologies for creating new metamaterials with internal structure, self-assembly processes of complex supramolecular structures in disordered media, etc. In this work, we theoretically study the effect of sudden fluidization of a dense group of bots, each of which is a source of heat and follows a simple algorithm to move in the direction of the gradient of the global temperature field. We show that, under certain conditions, an aggregate of self-propelled bots can… More >
