Visuotactile Sensor Enabled Pneumatic Device Towards Compliant Oropharyngeal Swab Sampling [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Manual oropharyngeal (OP) swab sampling is an intensive and risky task. In this article, a novel OP swab sampling device of low cost and high compliance is designed by combining the visuo-tactile sensor and the pneumatic actuator-based gripper. Here, a concave visuo-tactile sensor called CoTac is first proposed to address the problems of high cost and ...
