A snake-mimic soft actuator composed of a bilayered liquid crystal elastomer ribbon and two serrated feet is reported in this work. Under repeated on/o? near-infrared light irradiation, this actuator can move forward relying on a reversible shape morphing between S-curve structure and reverse S-curve structure, which is similar to the serpentine locomotion of snakes.
