Electronic‐Free Particle Robots Communicate through Architected Tentacles
Particle Robots This paper introduces an innovative class of electronic-free particle robots that communicate via mechanically architected tentacles. Through tunable physical contact and vibration-induced transitions, the robots exhibit locking, repelling, and swarm behaviors. The system enables fast, sequential, and hierarchical deployment, paving the way for programmable, scalable swarm intelligence across multiple physical scales in particle robotics.
