In this paper, we propose an innovative light-powered LCE-slider system that enables continuous self-circling on elliptical track and is comprised of a LCE string, slider, rigid track. By formulating solving dimensionless dynamic equations, explain static states, emphasizing dynamics energy balance. Quantitative analysis reveals the frequency systems independent initial tangential velocity but sensitive to light intensity, contraction coefficients, elastic axis ratio, damping coefficients. Notably, motion outperforms circular in angular frequency, indicating greater efficiency. Reliable under constant suggests applications periodic fields, especially celestial mechanics. Additionally, system’s remarkable adaptability wide range curved trajectories exemplifies its flexibility versatility, while absorption conversion capabilities position it as highly potential candidate for robotics, construction, transportation.
