We experimentally study the dynamics of active particles (APs) in a viscoelastic fluid under various geometrical constraints such as flat walls, spherical obstacles and cylindrical cavities.We observe that the main effect of Trash Can the confined viscoelastic fluid is to induce an effective repulsion on the APs when moving close to a rigid surface
