Scientists at Westlake University in China have developed a remarkable soft robot that can be controlled by light. This tubular robot has the ability to pump liquids, unscrew bolts, and even navigate through pipes.

Inspired by nature, the robot can also flex and bend towards a light source, much like a plant leaning towards the sun, The New Scientist reported.

The functioning of this robot is based on a fascinating phenomenon observed in certain materials. When exposed to light, these materials experience changes in energy that cause them to expand or contract.
