Tuberculosis is considered one of the most lethal infectious diseases. One of the common tuberculosis diagnosis methods is sputum testing. The sputum collection process represents a risk for the medical personnel who can get infected during the procedure, which is why an automated solution within an isolation booth is preferred. The paper’s goal is to present a methodology for selecting a suitable collaborative robot to be integrated into the isolation booth, based on a set of predetermined requirements. The obstacle collision forces of the selected robot are measured to assess its suitability for the required task.
