Abstract: Darboux transformation method is used for constructing harmonic maps from $R^2$ to $U(N)$. The explicit expressions for Darboux matrices are used to obtain new harmonic maps from a known one. The algorithm is purely algebraic and can be repeated successively to obtain an infinite sequence of harmonic maps. Single and multiple solitons are obtained with geometric characterizations and it is proved that the interaction between solitons is elastic. By introducing the singular Darboux transformations, an explicit method to construct new unitons is presented.
