Biomimetic Soft Robots The combination of photo‐thermal effect of Au and the mismatch between thermal expansion coefficients of LDPE film and PI adhesive has enabled the design of sandwich‐structured photo‐responsive PI/Au/LDPE nanocomposite film. Thanks to its dexterous geometry design, stable and reversible photo‐responsive actuation behavior, and remote and precise driven mode, biomimetic soft robots with pre‐engineered functionality and complex locomotion have been devised.
