Abstract:
Systems and methods for autonomous intravenous needle insertion are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for autonomous intravenous insertion include a robot arm, one or more sensors pivotally attached to the robot arm for gathering information about potential insertion sites in a subject arm, a medical device pivotally attached to the robot arm, and a controller in communication with the sensors and the robot arm, wherein the controller receives the information from the sensors about potential insertion sites, and the controller selects a target insertion site and directs the robot arm to insert the medical device into the target insertion site.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for an intravenous insertion, the system comprises:\n a robotic positioning system; one or more sensors attached to the robotic positioning system to gather information about an insertion site in a blood vessel of a subject, the information including three-dimensional coordinates and orientation of the blood vessel, and topography at the insertion site; an end-effector for insertion into the blood vessel attached to the robotic positioning system; and a controller in communication with the one or more sensors and the robotic positioning system,\n wherein the controller is configured to autonomously process the information from the one or more sensors about the insertion site in the blood vessel of the subject, to autonomously calculate an insertion path of the end-effector into the blood vessel based on the three-dimensional coordinates and orientation of the blood vessel, and topography at the insertion site, and to autonomously direct the robotic positioning system to insert the end-effector along the insertion path into the blood vessel at the insertion site.
