| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The system in which free energy is transduced into motion is called active matter, which has been intensively studied. In this project. we considered the active matter composed of physico-chemical systems, and studied the relation between the system's symmetry and direction of spontaneous motion both experimentally and theoretically. We considered camphor disks and droplets as self-propelled objects and constructed a mathematical model. Then we reduced it into a dynamical system with a small number of variables.
