Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1908842, Ying Hu and co‐workers construct an artificially autonomous soft robot based on a curled droplet‐shaped carbon nanotube bimorph structure, which can produce a constant white light‐driven continuous oscillating motion in a wavelike fashion. It can also autonomously and continuously crawl towards the light source in a wave‐propagating manner under constant light irradiation, exhibiting phototactic self‐locomotion.
