Fluidic Body lets people change a swarm’s behavior by moving a hand through a simulated fluid. Robots act as fluid particles: an open hand selects a soft setting for spreading through gaps, while a closed hand selects a cohesive setting for pushing objects. In a 17-person VR study, all participants completed the combined task, versus 8 using fixed-behavior RVO; evidence is limited to this study and baseline.
