Fully plastic microrobots which manipulate objects using only visible lightElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Stress-strain curves of the CLCP film before and after lamination with the PE film, and two movies showing the manipulation of the objects with two kinds of the fully plastic microrobots driven by visible light.

Visible-light-driven fully plastic microrobots were successfully prepared from crosslinked liquid-crystalline polymer and polyethylene bilayer films. Visible-light-driven fully plastic microrobots were successfully prepared from crosslinked liquid-crystalline polymers and polyethylene bilayer films.
