Performance analysis of autonomous UV disinfecting robot (UV bot) using Taguchi method.

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
As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, there is a growing demand for robots to perform various operations which include service bots, cleaning, and disinfection bots. Viral contamination has been one of the major causes of human fatality which has abruptly increased in this situation. Availability of existing technologies is always surpassed by an effective one so as is the UV-Bot developed in this project. This bot aims for a highly accurate percentage of up to 96.8% of germ clearance at pre-defined conditions which are user-friendly. Also, the robot is designed in a compact size and effective shape to achieve maximum efficiency. The robot is deployed in hospital pathway and rooms for disinfection whereas human detection and obstacle avoidance has been included with a custom-developed algorithm that supports autonomous navigation and corner tracking facility. The robot also supports live streaming of the disinfecting site with an emergency alarm and stop in human detection. This type of robot is highly capable of destroying viral infections at a particular point which is validated using Taguchi analysis and also the robot is 3D modelled and tested using static and dynamic obstacles. Thus UV-Bot is manually controllable or autonomous which uses the A* algorithm to store or retrieve the disinfecting site map which is recorded if used frequently.
