We investigate the evolution of small systems of strongly interacting active Brownian particles. Metal-coated grains of micron size levitating in gas-discharge plasma are irradiated by laser inducing their active motion. We present the experimentally obtained functions of mean first-passage time dynamic entropy (MFPT) for each grain in a two-dimensional system for various values of their kinetic temperature, and also the values of the fractal dimension of trajectories of these systems and their localization area and match them to the point of transformation of the system.
