Systems and methods for autonomous intravenous needle insertion

A robot system is designed to automatically draw blood. It uses sensors to identify the best vein on a person's arm, then precisely inserts a needle. The system can also automatically swap a full blood collection tube for an empty one.

Why it matters: Filed before recent advancements in AI-driven computer vision and real-time robotic control. These now make precise vein selection and automated tube handling more reliable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotic arm, vision system, precision mechanics, software.
