Abstract:In the modern medical care, venipuncture is an indispensable procedure for both diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, unlike existing solutions that fully or partially rely on professional assistance, we propose VeniBot -a compact robotic system solution integrating both novel hardware and software developments. For the hardware, we design a set of units to facilitate the supporting, positioning, puncturing and imaging functionalities. For the software, to move towards a full automation, we propose a novel d… Show more
