Abstract

Abstract Small robots for drug transportation, environmental detection and military reconnaissance have been a popular research topic in the field of robotics. Recently, people have proposed using light-driven actuators to make flexible and remote-controllable small robots. Herein, we reviewed the research on light-driven soft robots in recent years. First, we summarized and compared the performance and fabrication method of light-driven actuators. Then, we classified and summarized the structures of robots according to their move mode. After that, we described how to control the robot. Finally, the challenges of light-driven robots are discussed.
