| contents | The interaction of surfaces in relative motion in wet environments is dominated by lubrication forces, which play a pivotal role in the dynamics of microscopic systems. Here, we develop motile vesicles that exploit lubrication forces to roll on substrates. The activity of the vesicle comes from the confined rotational flow generated by a driven rotating particle encapsulated within the vesicle by droplet-microfluidics. Lubrication forces driving vesicle rolling are controlled by membrane mechanics and its tribological properties. This provides the design principles for motile vesicles that exploit frictional forces to efficiently navigate through complex environments. |
