1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 proposes a smooth adjustment method for the instability problem that occurs during the start and stop of a multi-footed robot during attitude change. First, kinematics analysis is used to establish the mapping relationship between the joint angles of the robot support legs and the body posture. The leg joint angle is a known quantity that can be measured accurately and in real time. Therefore, when the position of the foot end of the support leg is unchanged, a unique set of joint angles can be obtained with the change of body posture at a certain moment. Based on the designed mapping model, the smooth adjustment of the posture can be achieved by the smooth adjustment of the support legs. Second, a constraint index that satisfies the requirements of the robot's steady adjustment of the robot is given. The S-curve acceleration/deceleration method is used to plan the body's attitude angle transformation curve, and then the mapping control relationship is used to obtain the control trajectory requirements of the joint to achieve smooth adjustment. In addition, this paper also gives a simple choice and motion control method for the redundancy problem caused by the number of support legs of a multi-footed robot when the attitude is changed. The simulation and prototype experiments verify and analyze the proposed method. The results of comparative experiments show that the posture adjustment method proposed in this paper has continuous acceleration without breakpoints, the speed changes gently during the start and stop phases of the attitude transformation, and there is no sudden change in the entire process, which improves the consistency of the actual values of the attitude planning curve with the target values. The physical prototype experiment shows that the maximum deviation between the actual value of the attitude angular velocity and the target value changes from 62.5% to 5.5%, and the degree of fit increases by 57.0%. Therefore, this study solves the problem of the instability of the fuselage when the robot changes its attitude, and it provides an important reference for the multi-footed robot to improve the terrain adaptability.
