Behaviour of spinning mini-robots

Caption

Chiral mini-robots (black discs) moving in circles (circular trajectory shown in grey) exert pressure on the system wall (circle edge shown in red). This pressure at the wall results in an elevated effective temperature and edge currents (blue arrows). (Image: HHU/Marco Musacchio)
