LEGO-like Origami Robots Standardize Structure Design of Soft Robots.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 paper presents a novel design methodology for automatically constructing soft robots with modular, LEGO-like origami actuators. By assembling these modular soft actuators, intricate robotic systems can be created. The key innovation of the work lies in the incorporation of thickness accommodation into kinematics models and the optimization-based assembly strategy standardizing the design process. This approach has been validated through two LEGO-like origami actuators, which are then assembled guided by the assembly strategy. A robot arm built by these actuators showcased a remarkable position accuracy, deviating by only 3 mm at the tip over a 400 mm span. Furthermore, two soft robots are successfully designed, built, and tested for manipulation and tight space inspection, and a bipedal walking robot, confirming the feasibility of the design algorithm for functional robotic systems. This work offers a comprehensive design framework that standardizes the assembly of LEGO-like origami actuators into accurate and functional robotic systems.
