Topological soliton states, existing in the topological structures with edge defect or interface defect, are usually studied under steady state. Here, we experimentally observe the dynamic processes of the generation and the extinction of such soliton states in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. The different topological structures are implemented on a programmable nanomechanical lattice, consisting of eight adjacent string resonators which are parametrically coupled by manipulation voltages. Moreover, the beating and localization behaviors at different topological interfaces are also observed in the same device. These results explicitly exhibit the dynamic processes of topological soliton states, which reveal real potential toward integrated multifunctional topological materials.
