We study the effect of a rough wall on the controllability of micro-swimmers made of several balls linked by thin jacks: the so-called 3-sphere and 4-sphere swimmers. Our work completes the previous work [F. Alouges and L. Giraldi, Acta Applicandae Mathematicae 128 (2013) 153–179] dedicated to the effect of a flat wall. We show that a controllable swimmer (the 4-sphere swimmer) is not impacted by the roughness. On the contrary, we show that the roughness changes the dynamics of the 3-sphere swimmer, so that it can reach any direction almost everywhere.
Keywords: Low-Reynolds number swimming, self-propulsion, three-sphere swimmer, rough wall effect, Lie brackets, control theory, asymptotic expansion
