(5/6) Key to this RT motion is our robot's rolling-without-slipping, inertia-less active motion, which is expected in microswimmers. To confirm this, we used a slippery surface coated with coconut oil and found that the sudden tumble events smoothened out and vanished completely.

(1/6) 📢Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with @harshIITMandi's group at IIT Mandi on an artificial robotic system 🤖, in experiment and theory, mimicking run-and-tumble (RT) motion seen in microorganisms 🦠. 🧵⏬
