Light‐controlled soft microrobotics technologies can bridge the gap between microrobotics and polymeric artificial muscles. In article number 1703554 , Hao Zeng, Arri Priimagi, and co‐workers highlight recent progress in photomobile devices based on liquid‐crystal elastomers, such as walkers, swimmers, and oscillators. Self‐regulated actuation is proposed as a new pathway toward fully autonomous, intelligent light robots of the future.
