Adaptive Locomotion of Active Solids
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore adaptive locomotion in active solids through a 43-minute conference talk by Corentin Coulais from the University of Amsterdam. Recorded as part of "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the emerging field of active matter and its applications in active solids. Discover how energy-consuming components interact to create collective phenomena in systems ranging from living organisms to synthetically engineered materials. Examine the latest developments in active solids, including elastically coupled networks that enable actuation and shape changes beyond equilibrium states. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary nature of this research, connecting concepts from hydrodynamics, elastic theories, living matter, and quantum materials far from equilibrium. Learn about the potential breakthroughs in areas such as active hydrogels, metamaterials, and mechanical structures composed of linked robotic components.
