A Static Area Coverage Algorithm for Heterogeneous AUV Group Based on Biological Competition Mechanism.

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
Static area coverage of the heterogeneous autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) group is widely used in many fields. With the use of the centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) algorithm, the coverage problem can be resolved. However, the CVT method, which is optimized with the location evaluation function, cannot consider the heterogeneity of AUVs when the group performs the static area coverage task and will cause a waste of resources. In this paper, considering different AUVs' task requirements and detection capabilities comprehensively, we propose a coverage control optimization algorithm based on a biological competition mechanism (BCM). By using BCM, the task load of each AUV can be distributed consistently. In addition, we provide strict proof of the consistency of the algorithm based on the Lyapunov method. Simulation results demonstrate that with the proposed algorithm, the location distribution of the heterogeneous AUV group for area coverage is close to the balanced value, and the performance is better than the CVT algorithm for static area coverage.
