Tongji University: "no contact" automatic needle blood-picking robot came out

, Shanghai, January 30 (Reporter Meng Yandi) How to reduce the large number of intravenous puncture operations during the outbreak to the first-line clinical staff to bring the burden of work and reduce the possible cross-infection of doctors and patients? Tongji University's scientific research team for the outbreak prevention and control of the "no contact" needs, designed and developed an automatic needle blood-picking robot, after the Spring Festival will be in a number of hospitals for experimental testing.
the outbreak, ensuring a safe medical environment and reducing the chances of transmission of the virus are important links in the prevention and control of medical institutions. Qi Peng's team at Tongji University conducted a study on "multimodal image guidance venous puncture robot system based on deep learning", which lasted one year and achieved innovative results.
it is understood that this venous puncture robot has the advantages of compact design, dexterity and low cost, taking into account safety and precision, the robot system through multimodal imaging technology can accurately find the best location of vascular puncture, focusing on solving the three major pain points of venous puncture: near-infrared light Can clearly reflect the "where to tie", ultrasound can tell you three-dimensionally "Zado deep", solve the problem of low success rate of intravenous puncture, high accident rate, but also can automatically complete disinfection, puncture and other operations, instead of medical staff and patients contact, so as to minimize cross-infection.
project leader Qi Peng has nearly ten years of relevant medical robot research and development experience, the project team gathered toNgji University's outstanding students, they come from intelligent manufacturing, control, machinery, software, creation, electronics, medicine and many other different professions, directly involved in the production of robot engineering, from the user's point of view to propose improvements. In this way, through cross-cooperation between medical workers, the research and development process of the blood-picking robot has been jointly promoted. Qi Peng said: "Although we are in colleges and universities, may be different from enterprises, industrial production, but we are also trying to play a complementary advantage." Cooperation with enterprises, through the integration of production, research and development into product applications can go further. "
" blood, infusions, nucleic acid testing, vaccination and other technologies related to vascular puncture are common. Qi Peng said that these jobs are expected to be done using robots. In the future, automatic needle-picking robots will be the gospel of shock patients, young children, the elderly and other people with needle difficulties, and their accurate and efficient characteristics, which can work in bulk, can also reduce the burden on medical personnel. In daily medical work, automatic needle-taking robots can enter community clinics, patients receive drugs to achieve "auto-needle" infusion. At present, the project has carried out many generations of prototype experiments, after functional verification has achieved good results, but also recognized by the academic community.
