Abstract A self-oscillating system can harness energy from the external environment to sustain its continuous motion, making it highly suitable for applications in soft robotics, military industry, energy, and other fields. This article introduces a composed of light-responsive liquid crystal elastomer fiber, baffle, spring, capable achieving self-oscillation under stable lighting conditions. Considering established dynamic model elastomers (LCEs), nonlinear is introduced used as basis exploring characteristics. Numerical computations reveal that coupled exhibits two distinct motion states: static states. The behavior sustained through interaction light damping dissipation. Furthermore, detailed investigation conducted on key parameters affecting frequency amplitude self-oscillation. In contrast complexity current systems, this particular features simplicity structure, ease manufacture, strong adaptability. These advantages are expected provide broader design possibilities micro-machines mechanical production processes.
