All-in-one optically interactive soft robots with embedded liquid crystal holography

Abstract Soft robots capable of self-driven information transmission hold great promise for enabling intelligent interactions that better emulate the behavior of living organisms; however, achieving such systems remains elusive. Here, we present an all-in-one optically interactive soft robot that seamlessly integrates holographic command encoding, encryption, and display with on-demand task execution. By leveraging the unique combination of liquid crystal and silk fibroin, this system achieves a
