Abstract Bionic robots have great potential in healthcare, rescue, and surveillance. However, most soft actuators can only realize one or two deformation modes, which largely limit the application complex environments. This study develops electric/Infrared (IR) light/magnetic multi‐field coupling by combining liquid crystal elastomers (LCE), metal (LM) magnetic Ecoflex (Mecoflex). Originated from synergistic effect of differed thermal expansion phase transition, actuator outstanding large deformations (bending angle > 300°) at ultra‐low voltages (1.0 V). In addition, designing molecular orientation LCE layer programming magnetization Mecoflex layer, bending helical be controlled under electric/magnetic IR actuation. Based on capability, bionic climbing plants kinds quadrupedal are developed. With structural design robots, they flexibly switch to pass through environments controlling externally applied fields, demonstrates their broad practical applications.
