Abstract
Motile active matter needs to be capable of autonomous motion, i.e. under globally force- and torque-free conditions. Still, living motile agents need to be able to navigate and communicate in response to external and self-generated fields. In synthetic active matter, we want to mimic such behaviours by creating bio-inspired taxes. Active emulsions are a three-component minimal swimmer model, yet are able to chemotax, rheotax, electro- and magnetotax.
