Keywords:ion gel, self-propelling

We aim at fabricating a transport system using self-propelled ion gel. In this study, we observe reciprocating motion of ion gel within a linear channel. We find that directional motion can be induced by confining the ion gel piece in a space thus limitting a degree of freedom of the motion.
