In this paper, we further develop the concept of a reflexive drive robot mechanism that we have been working on for some time, and propose and realize a complete mechanization of a contact counting element that is able to extract the mechanism of the leaf closure initiation and sea cucumber characteristic switching of the flycatcher, as well as the flexible-rigid switching mechanism. Through experiments using the actual machine, we confirmed the basic validity of the proposed principle, including the contact counting function and the reflexive drive.
