Soft robots that can be remotely powered and controlled and mimic locomotion of living species open new perspectives in science and engineering. A natural‐scale monolithic caterpillar robot based on an optomechanical liquid crystalline elastomer with patterned molecular alignment is reported. The robot demonstrates different gaits and is capable of performing various tasks in complex environments.

Abstract
Soft robots that can be remotely powered and controlled and mimic locomotion of living species open new perspectives in science and engineering. A natural‐scale monolithic caterpillar robot based on an optomechanical liquid crystalline elastomer with patterned molecular alignment is reported. The robot demonstrates different gaits and is capable of performing various tasks in complex environments.
