About

Alexey A. Dmitriev is an emerging researcher working at the exciting intersection of robotics, active matter physics, and swarm intelligence. His work focuses on developing and utilizing robotic swarms — particularly bristle-bot platforms — as experimental proxies for studying the collective behavior of self-propelled and self-rotating particles at scales difficult to achieve with traditional microscale systems. Dmitriev's most recognized contribution, "Optimizing self-rotating bristle-bots for active matter implementation with robotic swarms" (2021, 7 citations), established key design principles for engineering simple robots that faithfully reproduce non-equilibrium active matter dynamics. Alongside this, his investigations into statistical correlations within robotic swarms have provided valuable quantitative frameworks for extracting meaningful physical data from these complex assemblies. More recently, his experimental studies on micellization — the spontaneous clustering of asymmetric self-propelled particles into micelle-like structures — have opened new avenues for understanding self-organization phenomena in active matter systems. His development of the Swarmodroid platform and the AMPy software package reflects a commitment to making robotic active matter research more accessible and reproducible for the broader scientific community. With a growing citation record and increasingly sophisticated experimental contributions, Dmitriev represents a promising voice in the physics of driven, out-of-equilibrium systems.
