Reprogrammable, intelligent soft origami LEGO coupling actuation, computation, and sensing.
Article in Innovation (Cambridge (Mass.)), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tightly integrating actuation, computation, and sensing in soft materials allows soft robots to respond autonomously to their environments. However, fusing these capabilities within a single soft module in an efficient, programmable, and compatible way is still a significant challenge. Here, we introduce a strategy for integrating actuation, computation, and sensing capabilities in soft origami. Unified and plug-and-play soft origami modules can be reconfigured into diverse morphologies with specific functions or reprogrammed into a variety of soft logic circuits, similar to LEGO bricks. We built an untethered autonomous soft turtle that is able to sense stimuli, store data, process information, and perform swimming movements. The function multiplexing and signal compatibility of the origami minimize the number of soft devices, thereby reducing the complexity and redundancy of soft robots. Moreover, this origami also exhibits strong damage resistance and high durability. We envision that this work will offer an effective way to readily create on-demand soft robots that can operate in unknown environments.
