Robot technology has made great progress over the past few decades, and has found wide use in military, industrial and service fields. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for soft robots. However, as a key part, the development of soft actuators capable of low-energy actuation, multi-stimulation response, and large shape deformation is still challenging. In this work, we fabricated multiresponsive actuators based on modified electrospun films. The actuators provided the largest curvatures of 0.83 cm(−1), 0.6 cm(−1), and 1.05 cm(−1), stimulated by humidity, light, and electricity, respectively. Furthermore, we designed a biomimetic application—a crawling robot—which demonstrates excellent potential applications of the actuator in soft robotics, artificial muscles, and the biomimetics field.
