Claim 10:
11. An apparatus, comprising:
a cart movable from a first location to a second location near a patient, the cart including a platform and a vertical adjustment element configured to adjust a distance between the platform and a ground supporting the cart;
a manipulation device configured to releasably couple to a cartridge including a needle, a catheter, and a guidewire that are coaxially disposed with respect to each other;
a plurality of linear actuators;
a plurality of motors each configured to operably couple to one or more of the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire to selectively drive movement of the one or more of the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire, when the manipulation device is coupled to the cartridge, each of the plurality of motors being configured to drive a different one of the plurality of linear actuators to linearly advance at least one of the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire, the plurality of motors including a single motor that is coupled to a single linear actuator from the plurality of linear actuators to drive that linear actuator to advance at least two of the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire;
an imaging device coupled to a distal portion of the manipulation device such that the imaging device is fixed in relation to the plurality of motors, the imaging device configured to capture a transverse view and a longitudinal view of a target vessel of the patient; and
a robotic arm having a first end coupled to the platform and a second end coupled to the manipulation device, the robotic arm having a plurality of segments joined together via a plurality of joints such that the robotic arm can be moved to position the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire for insertion into the target vessel.
