Fig. 1: Mixed misaligned perception-dependent motility.
From: Directed swarm assembly due to mixed misaligned perception-dependent motility
a, b Sketches of active particles with oppositely misaligned visual perceptions. Propulsion occurs in the ei, ej directions. The vision cones half-width-angle is α, and their symmetry axes have a relative angle γ with the propulsion directions, this is the misalignment, which is oriented towards the right for the red particles in (a) and towards the left for the blue ones in (b). c Sketch of particles in a cluster boundary with maximum perception. d Initial homogeneous configuration of an equimolar mixture of particles with perception-dependent motility with oppositely misaligned perceptions. e Initial collapsed configuration after very short time. f, g Average displacement of each particle type in the collapsed state showing the early counter-rotation of particles with right-handed misalignment in (f) and left-handed in (g).
