Entry Description

AKSO is an automatic nucleic acid sampling robot used for nucleic acid collection for humans based on the inclusive design principle. It captures information via a camera and recognizes the user to adjust the working height and record information. Clear guidance, transparent information, and anthropomorphic appearance help to establish trust between humans and machines to increase social acceptance of machine sampling. The front and rear functional partitioning provides a simple and user-friendly experience and facilitates the convenient transport of samples by maintenance staff.
