Chemotactic smart microswimmers

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk, we will discuss how reinforcement learning can endow a model three-sphere microswimmer with the capability to search for chemical sources based on localized cues. We will discuss the observed chemotactic behaviors of these smart microswimmers compared with those observed for biological cells. Our findings pave the way for developing microswimmers that can autonomously navigate complex, unpredictable environments.
