AI-embodied multi-modal flexible electronic robots with programmable sensing, actuating and self-learning.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Achieving robust environmental interaction in small-scale soft robotics remains challenging due to limitations in terrain adaptability, real-time perception, and autonomous decision-making. Here, we introduce Flexible Electronic Robots constructed from programmable flexible electronic components and setae modules. The integrated platform combines multimodal sensing/actuation with embedded computing, enabling adaptive operation in diverse environments. Applying modular design principles to configure structural topologies, actuation sequences, and circuit layouts, these robots achieve multimodal locomotion, including vertical surface traversal, directional control, and obstacle navigation. The system implements proprioception (shape and attitude) and exteroception (vision, temperature, humidity, proximity and pathway shape recognition) under dynamic conditions. Onboard computational units enable autonomous behaviors like hazard evasion and thermal gradient tracking through adaptive decision-making, supported by embodied artificial intelligence. In this work, we establish a framework for creating small-scale soft robots with enhanced environmental intelligence through tightly integrated sensing, actuation, and decision-making architectures.
