Development of a Vision-Guided Shared-Control System for Assistive Robotic Manipulators.

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
Assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) provide a potential solution to mitigating the difficulties and lost independence associated with manipulation deficits in individuals with upper-limb impairments. However, achieving efficient control of an ARM can be a challenge due to the multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) of an ARM that need to be controlled. This study describes the development of a vision-guided shared-control (VGS) system and how it is applied to a multi-step drinking task. The VGS control allows the user to control the gross motion of the ARM via teleoperation and commands the ARM to autonomously perform fine manipulation. A bench-top test of the autonomous actions showed that success rates for different subtasks ranged from 80% to 100%. An evaluation with three test pilots showed that the overall task performance, in terms of success rate, task completion time, and joystick mode-switch frequency, was better with VGS than with teleoperation. Similar trends were observed with a case participant with a spinal cord injury. While his performance was better and he perceived a smaller workload with VGS, his perceived usability for VGS and teleoperation was similar. More work is needed to further improve and test VGS on participants with disabilities.
