Abstract
We have been employing polymer gels to create biomimetic motility systems, focusing to their reversible size and shape change, thereby realizing motion by integrating the deformation on a molecular level. Over the past number of years, we have proposed several kinds of artificial soft machines constructed by polymer gels. Examples include Gelooper(gel-looper), gelf(gel golf) [1–6], shape memory gel actuators[7–10], chemical motors[11,12], etc.
