Hi, for the students asking about exercise 10.1 and 10.2

--- a possible choice for the simulation parameters
I0 = 10; %
V0 = 10; %
Vinf = 0.01; %
tau = 2; %
L = V0 * tau; % persistence length
dt = 0.01 * tau; % time step
N_iterations = 100*round(tau/dt); % 100 times tau

--- Hint for 10.1 : how to show that the robot spends more time in the spots with high intensities:
try using histograms

--- Hint for 10.2 : how to show whether the robot trajectory is affected by the traveling wave:
try using histograms, and compare to a trajectory that is static and with the same rotational noise

Example of histogram for comparison wave vs static pattern

[acallegar]

Example of trajectory comparison (the pattern below the trajectories is the static one, i.e., the reference for the cyan trajectory)
the trajectory in white is the one for the moving pattern (wave traveling from left to right)

The example code "multiple_robots,.ipynb" seems to be wrong and unfinished?

Hi, we will check the code.
