Abstract
We present a geometric design rule for size-controlled clustering of
self-propelled particles. Active particles that tend to rotate under an
external force have an intrinsic signed-parameter with units of curvature,
which we term curvity, derivable from first principles. Robot experiments and
numerical simulations show that the properties of the individual robot alone --
radius and curvity -- control pair-cohesion in a binary system as well as the
stability of flocking and clustering in a swarm. Our results have applications
in meta-materials and embodied decentralized control.
