论文摘要

主动物质系统使用其内部或环境能源来源,并以各个组成粒子的规模消散它们以产生运动。在实验中尚未实现直接测量单个颗粒的能量流入。在这里,我们提出“ SquiggleBot” - 基于开源硬件的电池供电的球形滚动机器人作为人工活动物质系统,其能量消耗以及能量耗散到不同的运动模式中都可以实验测量。这可以用作一种原型系统,以研究非平衡统计物理学的许多有趣问题,其中需要能量学的细节。

Active matter systems use their internal or ambient source of energy and dissipate them at the scale of individual constituent particles to generate motion. Direct measurement of the energy influx for individual particles has not been achieved in the experiments. Here we present "Squigglebot" - a battery powered spherical rolling robot based on open source hardware as an artificial active matter system whose energy consumption as well as the energy dissipation into different modes of motion both can be measured experimentally. This can serve as a prototype system to study a number of interesting problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics, where details of the energetics are required.
