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

The control of multi-robot formations is a crucial aspect in various applications, such as transport, surveillance and monitoring environments. Maintaining robots in a specific formation pose or performing a cooperative task is a significant challenge when a fault occurs among any of the robots. This work presents a Decentralized Fault-Tolerant Control (DFTC) scheme that addresses lidar sensor faults within a system of multiple differential wheeled mobile robots. The robots change the formation shape according to the number of available robots within the formation. A Graph theory is implemented to represent the multi-robot formation and communication. Each mobile robot is equipped with three sensors: a wheel encoder, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and a lidar sensor. Sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) is implemented at two levels. The pose estimation obtained from the wheel encoder and IMU is fused using an extended Kalman filter (EKF), and this pose estimation is utilized at the local level of lidar sensor FDI. At the system level, the FDI of the lidar sensor involves computing a residual by comparing the pose estimation with other lidar sensors mounted on other mobile robots within the formation. The presented FTC scheme is simulated in Simulink multi-robot environments.
