Original Abstract Submitted
A detection system for detecting a virus or the like. The detection system includes an autonomous collection device that is capable of moving on a floor surface and for collecting an object on the floor surface, and a station device for detecting an analyte from the object collected from the floor surface by the autonomous collection device. The autonomous collection device includes a moving part for moving on the floor surface, a primary electric blower for sucking the object on the floor surface, and a dust container for storing the sucked object. The station device includes a transfer pipe fluidically connected to the dust container of the autonomous collection device when the autonomous collection device is positioned in a home position, and a virus detection part for detecting the analyte from the object transferred from the dust container through the transfer pipe.
