ABSTRACT
There is some potential for deploying robots to help with SARS-CoV-2 testing. We argue that particularly where there are established processes (e.g. back-end lab–based robots tackling extraction and amplification) and where these interface effectively with existing software to process the results, these should be scaled up.
