Abstract
Amoeba migrates with changing its cell’s shape and motional direction at random. This is called amoeboid motion. What characteristic is hidden in this amoeboid motion that seems to be a random motion? We explain some results that have been obtained on the characteristic of the amoeboid motion from its macroscopic observation and mathematical analysis.
