  • We design 3D-printed motor-driven active particles and find that their dynamics can be characterized using the model of overdamped chiral active Brownian particles (ABPs), as demonstrated by measured angular statistics and translational mean squared displacements (MSDs). Furthermore, we propose a minimal model that reproduces the double-peak velocity distributions and further predicts a transition from the single-peak to the double-peak displacement distributions in short-time regimes. The model provides a clear physics picture of these phenomena, originating from the competition between the active motion and the translational diffusion. Our experiments confirm such picture. The minimal model enhances our understanding of activity-driven non-Gaussian phenomena. The designed particles could be further applied in the study of collective chiral motions.
