System and method for facial mask detection and disinfection for reuse

A system for handling, inspecting, and orienting a mask to be placed into a disinfection system, the system comprising:

• a computer vision system configured to detect a position of the mask position and calculate an orientation angle of the mask;
• a first robotic arm configured to lift the mask and adjust the mask position of the mask based on the orientation angle;
• a second robotic arm configured to hold open the mask for a visual inspection of an internal and an external surface of the mask;
• and mask,
• a form correction fixture configured to stretch and open the mask by applying tension to straps on the mask while supporting a portion of the internal surface with a conical fixture.
