The purpose of this paper is to realize omnidirectional movement by generating a traveling wave with a simple command that only applies pressure to a bending module made of a flexible material. Also, in order to realize moving operation only by pressurization without using a solenoid valve, it is necessary to develop a pneumatic self-excited valve. The leaf spring built into the developed pneumatic self-excited valve snap bucking, creating two states : shutoff and open in two flow paths
