Abstract

The Covid-19 virus first infected humans around the end of 2019, and since then, people worldwide have witnessed the infection's terrible history. Many scientific treatments have been explored to stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading. However, if they are in close proximity to the victim, their chances of getting the virus increase. Therefore, a robotic arm may be designed and implemented for the safety of medical staff during Covid sampling. The robotic arm can grip the swap and obtain a sample from the suspect's mouth. This will allow sampling without contacting the suspect, preventing virus transmission. This paper explores the history of the robotic arm and reviews over 50  important scientific papers on the distinguishing characteristics of a robotic arm.
