Muscle-driven actuation of biomimetic microfibrillar structures is achieved using integrative soft-lithography on a backing splayed liquid-crystal elastomer (LCE). Variation in the backing LCE layer thickness yields different modes of thermal deformation from a pure bend to a twist-bend. Muscular motion and dynamic self-cleaning of gecko toe pads are mimicked via this mechanism
