본 논문에서는 7자유도 매니퓰레이터를 개발에 있어서 각 관절에 2개 이상의 일반적인 모터를 적용하여 중공형 관절을 구현하고, 전장부가 내장된 소형 구조를 설계하였다. 또한 기존의 산업용 로봇의 한계로 지적받고 있는 작업 반경의 한계 및 위험성을 극복할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 보다 효율적이며, 안전한 매니퓰레이터의 구현 방법을 제시한다.

To control the spread of COVID-19, it is important to identify the infection in its incipient stages so that the infected persons can be dealt with accordingly. The currently used face to face sampling method may increase the risk of infection for medical professionals as it exposes them to the asymptomatic yet infectious patients. This can result in further increases in the load on the medical system and workload of the medical staff. As a solution to this problem, in this paper, we present a robotic system for rapid non-face-to-face automatic nasopharyngeal swab sample collection. The system consists of a custom designed 7-DoF manipulator equipped with a specially developed safety mechanism for restricting the maximum force applied by the tip of the swab. During the swab sampling process, the force applied by the tip of the swab is continuously monitored in real-time by a 3-axis force sensor in order to detect contact with the nasopharynx. The possibility of using this system for automaticnasopharyngeal swab sample collection is proven through experimentation with a phantom model.
