Abstract
The method involves moving an apparatus with a sampling unit in an animal enclosure to collect air samples while monitoring environmental parameters and using navigation techniques to avoid obstacles. An apparatus is provided that interacts with animals, collects direct samples, and can be in the form of a robot. The robotic system successfully collects aerosol samples, interacts with animals without disruption, and detects viable biological particles on its surfaces. It moves slowly, preventing harm to animals and maintaining study integrity. The robot is remotely controlled, adaptable to different environments, and has a compact size, programmable drivetrain, and extended battery life. Iterative design improvements based on scientist feedback refined the robot's performance, including maneuverability, size, speed, and battery life, ensuring valuable data collection for scientific research.
