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 increasing integration of autonomous robotic systems across various industries necessitates adaptable social interaction capabilities. This paper presents a novel software architecture for socially adaptable robots, emphasizing simplicity, domain independence, and user influence on robotic behaviour. The architecture leverages a marketplace-based agent selection system to dynamically adapt social interaction patterns to diverse users and scenarios. Implemented using ROS2, the framework comprises four core components: scene analysis, a bidding platform, social agents, and a feedback service. A Validation through simulated experiments shows the architecture's feasibility and adaptability, with respect to varying feedback conditions and learning rates. This work lays the foundation for scalable, adaptable, and user-friendly robotic systems, addressing key challenges in industrial and social robotics. Future improvements include enhanced scene analysis, integration of machine learning techniques, and support for more complex behavioural scripts.
