A patent application by the inventors FUKUDA, Nobuya (Tokyo, JP); IMAI, Kenta (Tokyo, JP), filed on October 14, 2021, was made available online on January 25, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Heretofore, in the case in which various reagents or samples are injected into an automatic analyzer that analyzes blood, reagents or samples have been mainly manually injected. In this case, regarding samples, a person may touch a sample, resulting in a risk of causing an infection risk. Regarding reagents, a person touches a reagent, resulting in a risk of contamination of a reagent due to an organic substance derived from the person. Therefore, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique by which a selfpropelled robot conveys samples.” In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent application: “SUMMARY: “Technical Problem “The present invention targets the automatic analyzer that handles reagents and samples and that is installed on a free access floor that is a floor laid such that a given space is secured on a body. In the previously existing technique, a transfer robot that injects a reagent or sample into the automatic analyzer moves to a destination by a traveling unit moving on a plane. Moreover, in order to inject a reagent or sample, a function is included in which a robot hand transfers a reagent or sample to near the input port of the automatic analyzer. Since the automatic analyzer has a premise that a reagent or sample is manually injected, the height from the ground area to the input port ranges from about 0.8 m to 1.5 m. Therefore, the robot hand is demanded to convey a reagent or sample at a height ranging from 0.8 m to 1.5 m from the ground area.
