Soft robots based on liquid‐crystal polymers are designed and built by Yue Zhao and co‐workers, as described in article number 1903452. They possess two parts that each undergo opposite deformations upon an order–disorder phase transition. This design enables various electrically powered locomotion modes, including moving on a surface through body arching up–straightening down, crawling in a tunnel‐like...
Oriented liquid crystal networks (LCNs) can undergo reversible shape change at the macroscopic scale upon an order–disorder phase transition of the mesogens. This property is explored for developing soft robots that can move under external stimuli, such as light in most studies. Herein, electrically driven soft robots capable of executing various types of biomimetic locomotion are reported. The soft...
