Optically actuated microrobots enable precise microscale manipulation, yet achieving multiple degrees of freedom remains challenging. This work presents a chiral microrobot driven by optical tweezers that achieves controlled out-of-plane rotation with high torque and rotational velocity. In addition, it exhibits translation, rotation, and their controlled combination, enabling versatile actuation modes.
