The properties of tiny objects, for example a micromachine, a bacterium and
even an atom, are strongly influenced by their environment. By contrast, the
environment is typically viewed as being independent of the object. Moving
objects, however, can strongly modify their environment which leads to
interesting and complex feedback mechanisms, which are also of interest for
applications, e.g., the optimization of energy-efficient transport processes, the
rapid erasure of information or the design…
