In the past decade, the field of micromotor has undergone tremendous progresses. The autonomous and controlled motion of the micromotors inside a liquid environment makes them potentially attractive for various fields including environmental remediation, the biomedical application, etc. In addition to the micromotors based on non-responsive materials, those based on stimuli-responsive polymers have recently attracted more and more attentions due to their functional versatility and stimuli responsiveness. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the field of stimuli-responsive polymer based micromotor. Based on the stimuli responsiveness originating from the stimuli-responsive polymer components inside the micromotors, we highlight the unprecedented properties of the stimuli-responsive polymer based micromotors and elaborate the potential applications in various fields ranging from sensing to logic gate and the biomedical field, etc.
