Bioinspired Design and Experimental Validation of an Aquatic Snake Robot.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This article presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of a novel modular aquatic snake robot capable of surface locomotion. The modular structure allows each unit to function independently, facilitating ease of maintenance and adaptability to diverse aquatic environments. Employing the material point method with the moving least squares (MPM-MLS) simulation technique, the robot's dynamic behavior was analyzed, yielding reliable results. The control algorithm, integral to the robot's autonomous navigation, was implemented to enable forward propulsion at high speed, steering, and obstacle detection and avoidance. Extensive testing of the aquatic snake robot was conducted, demonstrating its practical viability. The robot showcased promising swimming capabilities, achieving high speeds and maneuverability. Furthermore, the obstacle detection and avoidance mechanisms were proven effective, showing the robot's ability to navigate through dynamic environments. The presented aquatic snake robot represents an advancement in the field of underwater robotics, offering a modular and versatile solution for tasks ranging from environmental monitoring to search and rescue operations.
