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

With the increasing demand for robotic manipulators to operate in complex environments, it is important to develop designs that work in obstacle-rich environments and can navigate around obstacles. This paper aims to demonstrate the capabilities of a bio-inspired, underactuated multilink manipulator in environments with fixed and/or movable obstacles. To simplify the system design, a single rotational actuator is used at the base of the manipulator. We present a modeling method for flexible, multilink underactuated manipulators, including their interaction with obstacles. We also demonstrate how to plan a trajectory for the manipulator in environments with fixed obstacles. The robustness of the manipulator is examined by analyzing the effects of uncertainty in its initial state and the position of obstacles. Next, we demonstrate the performance of the manipulator in environments with movable obstacles and show the advantages of controlling the obstacles' radii and positions. Lastly, we showcase the process of picking up an object in workspaces with obstacles. All the findings are supported by simulations as well as hardware experiments.
