China News on Autonomous Robot for Vaccine Injection
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 9:08 am
Some countries are already using needle-free vaccine injections, but such robots are at the forefront of a global trend. In November 2021, Canadian company Cobionix announced that it had developed the world's first vaccine injection robot that can administer vaccines autonomously, painlessly, and without needles.
Qi Peng, a professor from the university's research team, said the robot can automatically determine the most suitable injection site on a person's body by using a cloud camera to photograph the body with a 3D pattern recognition algorithm.
Qi said the robot is suitable for fast and continuous injection. The drug injection can be completed within half a second with an accuracy of 0.01 milliliters, which can be applied to various vaccine injection dose requirements.
It also has an injection depth adjustment function, which can be applied to different types of vaccines administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, Qi said.

Autonomous robot for hospitals and clinics
According to the professor, in the future, the robot could be used in hospitals or community clinics, as well as in mobile vaccination facilities, increasing the efficiency of vaccine injection.
Despite the enormous potential of robots in healthcare, the needle-free vaccine injection robot is still at the prototype stage and its clinical safety and effectiveness need to be tested in controlled trials.
Qi said the team will conduct further clinical testing to bring the new product to market, noting that in the future, medical robots will become an indispensable piece of equipment for healthcare workers, reducing the burden on medical staff.
