标题： Collision Induced Binding and Transport of Shape Changing Robot Pairs

摘要： 我们报告了在实验和模拟中形状变化机器人发生局部排斥碰撞时动态结合对的自发形成。 这些物理上的“滑翔机”稳健地从一个由单独起伏运动的三连杆双电机机器人的集合中涌现出来，并且可以保持结合数百次起伏运动，行进多个机器人尺寸。 滑翔机以两种不同的结合对称性出现，并且可以在广泛的角振荡范围内形成。 这个参数设定了影响形成概率和平移特性的最大凹陷。 模拟的动力学分析揭示了有效动力吸引机制 - 这是适当方向和定时排斥相互作用的涌现交互的结果。 触觉传感通过凹陷调制稳定短暂存在的构象。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. These physical `gliders' robustly emerge from an ensemble of individually undulating three-link two-motor robots and can remain bound for hundreds of undulations and travel for multiple robot dimensions. Gliders occur in two distinct binding symmetries and form over a wide range of angular oscillation extent. This parameter sets the maximal concavity which influences formation probability and translation characteristics. Analysis of dynamics in simulation reveals the mechanism of effective dynamical attraction -- a result of the emergent interplay of appropriately oriented and timed repulsive interactions. Tactile sensing stabilizes the short-lived conformation via concavity modulation.
