About
Eden Arbel is a researcher whose work bridges active matter physics and swarm robotics, focusing on how simple rules can produce complex collective behaviors. Their key research areas include geometric design principles for robotic swarms, cooperative transport mechanisms, and the physics of self-propelled particles. Arbel’s major contributions include introducing the concept of "curvity"—a signed parameter with units of curvature derived from first principles—which provides a geometric condition for controlling cluster size and the transition from cohesion to flocking in robot swarms. This work, published in 2025 and garnering 10 citations, offers a foundational design rule for engineering size-controlled clustering in active systems. Additionally, Arbel has advanced cooperative transport in autonomous swarms, addressing the challenge of enabling multiple robots to jointly move payloads too heavy for individuals—a feat inspired by ant colonies but difficult to replicate artificially. With a total of 14 citations across their most-cited papers, Arbel’s research is notable for its theoretical elegance and practical implications, offering a mechanical route to scalable, decentralized coordination that could impact robotics, materials science, and biological modeling.
