Abstract

We explore how self-organization in swarms of interacting self-propelled particles can be used to optimize their displacement in confined geometries. Using a discrete model with Vicsek-like interactions, we examine how channel geometry influence pattern formation and transport properties. Wall-induced particle accumulation leads to clogs and band formations that obstruct movement. This analysis enables us to develop global strategies for controlling particle alignment and optimizing displacement. We apply reinforcement learning techniques to devise policies that enhance transport efficiency.
