An Automatic Implementation of Oropharyngeal Swab Sampling for Diagnosing Respiratory Infectious Diseases via Soft Robotic End-Effectors

An Automatic Implementation of Oropharyngeal Swab Sampling for Diagnosing Respiratory Infectious Diseases via Soft Robotic End-Effectors

Abstract The most widely adopted method for diagnosing respiratory infectious diseases is to conduct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays on patients’ respiratory specimens, which are collected through either nasal or oropharyngeal swabs. The manual swab sampling process poses a high risk to the e...
