In this paper, we propose a movement mechanism using a resonance phenomenon. We use the phase-matched twist mode of the plate to the moving mechanism. By the synthesis of rigid body mode and twist mode, the rear endpoint of the plate vibrates in an elliptical trajectory. Driving force is generated by this trajectory. To realize this movement mechanism, we fabricated the small test model. By motion analysis for this model, we proposed a new structure to improve the self-propelled speed. Newly fabricated metal model was progress in maximum speed of 17mm / s. This self-propelled speed is twice the speed of conventional models.
