Smart swab testing robotic arm

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis infection (whooping cough), Staphylococcus aureus infections of the nose and mouth, and various allergies are all possibilities. It is spread by respiratory droplets and close contact and is caused by an infection of extreme acute respiratory syndrome.

Swab testing is commonly used for viral nucleic acid detection to diagnose allergies and viruses. Healthcare staff who conduct swab testing, on the other hand, are at high risk of contamination due to aerosol from patients during the swab testing process. Furthermore, the consistency of manual OP-swabs varies between collectors.

can result in a misdiagnosis A remote-controlled swab robot has the ability to reduce the risk of infection during swab testing by avoiding direct interaction with healthcare staff and patients. In this study, we developed a smart swab testing robotic arm and assessed its protection and efficacy in swab testing.
