Abstract
Multi-DOF flexibly-deformable machines are studied from. a biomechanical standpoint and are called "slime robots". A rope-like, one-dimensional slime robot called "slim slime robot" is paid special attention, and its mechanical design and basic locomotion are examined by experiments of the practical model
