Compliant Control System for Throat Swab Sampling

Abstract

In contemporary medical conditions, we can see medical robots in many medical places. For example, in modern surgery, it is not difficult to learn that the cutting-edge robot-assisted minimally invasive technology has more and more applications to replace the traditional open surgery. For example, cardiac luminal intervention, colonoscopy, vascular intervention and so on. The existence of these assisted robots greatly improves the success rate of surgery. Since a medical robot can perform minimally invasive surgery, it can also be competent for sampling viruses in daily life. In this paper, we will summarize the control mode of virus sampling robot in the past, and propose a robot with flexible linear control, which can realize more accurate positioning and sampling of virus sampling on patients, so as to realize the accuracy and efficiency in the sampling process.
