Adding randomness to robot motion can reduce traffic jams and get robots to their destinations faster, according to a study that used both models and experiments, and that could help improve the design of robot teams and pedestrian spaces. In PNAS: ow.ly/mGPx50Yi7n2

Tali Khain (voices.uchicago.edu/tali-kha…) is a final year PhD candidate working with Vincenzo Vitelli @UChicago. Her current research develops a theoretical fluid mechanics framework to capture the effect of broken symmetries in soft matter systems. (1/5)
I am thrilled to announce that 'Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies' has published our paper 'High-statistics pedestrian dynamics on stairways and their probabilistic fundamental diagrams'
With @alecorbetta, Alessandro Gabbana, Chiel van der Laan, and @ftoschi

Thanks to all participants of the @PED2023 conference. Fantastic to have 150 people from around the world sharing their interest and knowledge on #pedestrian and #evacuation dynamics. See you all at #PED2025 in Prague!
How do pedestrians walk along curved paths?
How are stochastic fluctuations altered by curvature?

This week I had a blast in the JBMC course "Machine learning in fluid mechanics", which pretty much took us from zero to hero in the topic. I cannot recommend it enough - great balance between theory and nicely-engineered hands-on sessions! jmburgerscentrum.nl/event/jm… 1/n
Last week, we installed a laser beamer, thereby further extending the sensor and actuator capacities of the @IliEhv Living Light Lab the Markthal @TUeindhoven. The beamer was provided and will be used, first most, btthe excellent research of the Crowdflow of @ftoschi
