Table 2 Summary of measured forces applied during the swab over all trials. Peak force and the forces averaged over the duration of the insertion are compared between the two controllers using paired t-tests.
From: Case study on force compliant robot arm controller for nasopharyngeal swab insertion
| Â | Proposed(mN) | Baseline(mN) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
Avg. Force | \(250 \pm 112\) | \(375 \pm 210\) | \(4.6 \times 10^{-5}\) |
Peak Force | \(1064 \pm 325\) | \(1347 \pm 516\) | \(5.3 \times 10^{-4}\) |
