Title
Flocks and Crowds: A Gulliver Travel
Abstract
Building on two model experiments I will show how to describe flocks and crowds as continua. I will fist explain the collective dynamics of millions of colloidal robots as emergent flows in an active fluid. I will then show how similar active-matter concepts and quantitative observations can be effectively used to infer the large scale dynamics of pedestrian crowds.
