Researchers had introduced the first robot capable of performing intramuscular injections.
The robot is called Cobionix — Cobi for short — and it does not require a needle to deliver its dosage.
Uses a high-pressure fluid jet, no thicker than a human hair, to inject the vaccine’s contents into the tissue.
Tim Lasswell, co-founder and CEO of Cobionix, says “...patients could receive intramuscular injections, such as vaccines, without needles and no involvement from a healthcare professional.”
It can scan a person's identification documents and verify if they are correct.
Then proceed to find the best spot on the patient's body to be vaccinated. Real value of Cobi lies in the fact that it can be completely automated.
Built to be programmed to function on its own. Likely to decrease the costs of operating the robots and to make them useful for many more applications.
It could take another two years before Cobi functions completely autonomously.
