“This robot makes venom recovery fast and safe,” said Mouad Mkamel from Ben M’sik Hassan II University in Morocco. “The extraction of scorpion venom is a very difficult task and usually takes at least two experimenters,” said Mkamel. “There are numerous risks including potentially deadly scorpion stings and electric shocks from the stimulators used to extract the venom,” he said. “It is designed to extract scorpion venom without harming the animal and to provide more safety for the experimenters,” said Mkamel. “VES4 could be used by one person using a remote control to safely recover scorpion venom remotely,” said Mkamel.
