Via: Daily Mail:
A robot that is able to take throat swabs from coronavirus patients using a 3D printed arm was developed by a team of researchers from Denmark in just four weeks.
The University of Southern Denmark says the world’s first fully automated throat swab robot will be be able to test the first COVID-19 patients by late June.
Using disposable 3D printed parts, the robot holds a swab and hits the exact spot in the throat where a sample needs to be collected every time.
It puts the swab in a glass and screws the lid on to seal the sample without human input – reducing the risk of exposing healthcare workers to the deadly virus.
