Design of novel autonomous oscillating gels with high generative force

生物有机体有一个具有耗散结构的系统。在这个系统中，有几种自主神经现象表现出自发振荡，不需要任何外部刺激的开关，如膜电位、心跳、昼夜节律等。如果实现具有生物运动等自振荡功能的凝胶，新型仿生执行器、自行式机器人和自拍式微泵可能成为可能。在本研究中，目的是实现具有高生成力的自振荡凝胶。

Living organisms have a system with dissipative structures. In this system, there are several autonomic phenomena exhibiting spontaneous oscillation that do not require any on-off switching of external stimuli, as represented by membrane potential, heartbeat, circadian rhythm, and so on. If gels with self-oscillating functionality like biological motions are realized, novel biomimetic actuators, self-walking robots and self-beating micropumps, could become feasible. In this study, the purpose is a realization of self oscillating gels with high generative force.
