In 2020, novel coronavirus pneumonia was enveloped in the haze of human being. With the advent of the post epidemic era, human beings have to be ready for major public emergencies, and the demand for anti epidemic products is also increasing. We focus on nucleic acid detection, which is an important but still imperfect link. We design an anti epidemic product with the keyword of "intelligence, safety and efficiency" from different groups and multiple perspectives, hoping to help human beings out of the haze and add a touch of light to the world. Global epidemic prevention and control has entered normalization. We urgently need a large-scale sampling equipment, which must have an efficient operation mode. Relying on the detailed and scientific man-machine analysis, the size of the product has achieved the preliminary positioning to a certain extent. The high integration of the imaging device and the mechanical sensing system in the front space of the manipulator, together with AI algorithm, realizes more accurate and scientific positioning of the sampling position and efficient and gentle acquisition experience. The shape of the swab is flat and round, which can reduce the pressure, increase the contact area and improve the sampling efficiency. The innovative "swab cartridge clip" realizes the automatic replacement of swabs. With the movable design of the sample bin, it achieves the purpose of automatic sampling and automatic packaging. Clear and reasonable operation logic, precise control hardware, and friendly appearance design constitute such a highly automated nucleic acid sampling equipment, which greatly reduces the work intensity and cross infection risk of medical staff.
