This work highlights the fabrication of a soft photo\u2010actuator by utilizing molecular motions of one of the two isostructural photosalient CdI\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    based metal complex, incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to achieve flexible, controlled macroscopic shape\u2010dependent photomechanical motions. The actuator successfully performs light\u2010controlled mechanical work, including mimicking bio\u2010responses, silica\u2010ball displacement. We performed the quantitative analysis of its motion as a function of time and displacement. The actuator's performance is strongly dependent on strength, thickness, and applied load. As the rate and magnitude of actuation depend on UV exposure, a theoretical model is developed to identify crucial parameters for optimized performance. The model quantitatively evaluates time\u2010dependent light\u2010induced deflection and the resulting photo\u2010actuation force under no(with) load conditions, capturing an initial fast response followed by a slower regime governed by above parameters. The rapid conversion of photochemical energy into mechanical work is further demonstrated through a prototype photo\u2010switch. Overall, this study advances the understanding of light\u2010controlled actuation in composite films and contributes to the development of next\u2010generation smart soft microrobots from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.\n
