Movie S5.

An environmentally responsive waterbomb is coupled to two “arms” containing environmentally responsive Chomper origami elements. As the central waterbomb reconfigures and the Chompers are moved through the humidity gradient to a new environment, they perform analog-to-analog transduction of the local relative humidity to bending and straightening of the “arms”.
