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

In recent years, multi-robot control systems and service robots equipped with graphical computing have been introduced in various application scenarios. However, the long-term operation of VSLAM calculation leads to reduced energy efficiency of the robot, and accidental localization failure still persists in large-scale fields with dynamic crowds and obstacles. This study proposes an EnergyWise multi-robot system based on ROS that actively determines the activation of VSLAM using real-time fused localization poses by an innovative energy-saving selector algorithm. The service robot is equipped with multiple sensors and utilizes the novel 2-level EKF method and incorporates the UWB global localization mechanism to adapt to complex environments. During the COVID-19 pandemic, three disinfection service robots were deployed to disinfect a large, open, and complex experimental site for 10 days. The results demonstrated that the proposed EnergyWise multi-robot control system successfully achieved a 54% reduction in computing energy consumption during long-term operations while maintaining a localization accuracy of 3 cm.
