A Review of Multi-Robot Systems and Soft Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 review investigates the latest advancements in Multi-Robot Systems (MRSs) and soft robotics, with a particular focus on their integration and emerging opportunities. An MRS extends principles from distributed artificial intelligence and coordination frameworks, enabling efficient collaboration in robotic applications such as object manipulation, navigation, and transportation. Soft robotics employs flexible materials and biomimetic designs to improve adaptability in unstructured environments, with applications in manufacturing, sensing, actuation, and modeling. Unlike previous reviews, which often address these fields independently, this work emphasizes their integration, identifying key challenges such as nonlinear dynamics, hyper-redundant configurations, and adaptive control. This review discusses recent advancements in locomotion, coordination, and simulation, offering insights into the development of adaptive and collaborative robotic systems across diverse applications.
