DESCRIPTION:Bristlebots are very simple small robots that are commercializ
 ed under different names as toys for children (and adults). They seem to h
 ave inspired many youtubers. In a joint work with E. Climent\, F. Plourabo
 ue and O. Praud from Toulouse fluid mechanics lab IMFT\, G. Dimarco from F
 errara and my former student T. B. N Mac\, we have studied the dynamics of
  swarms of bristlebots confined in a disk and an annulus. The talk will re
 port on the experimental and modelling results and will feature some live 
 experiments.&nbsp\;
