So all the sly remarks not withstanding, this direction of technology has long been overdue for the past 30 years.

Or we could just focus on more netbooks and smartphones. ]]>Sep 16th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/78% with 1 patient.

Add another patient and statistics will change.]]>Sep 17th 2009 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/
There's some pretty cool stuff there including mini-bots designed to crawl and swim around inside you and a section on robot surgeons in science fiction.

It's free to visit too :) ]]>Sep 18th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/

If the person they are testing this on is as hard to get a iv in as her then a 78% success rate is fantastic.]]>Sep 16th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/
I have never seen a really long line at the laboratories section of my medical clinic; it appears that the technicians spend most of their time goofing off... err... I mean engaged in other priority activites unrelated to blood/speciman testing.

So exactly what problem is this trying to solve? ]]>Sep 16th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/
I imagine the technology being developed here would be very useful in a battlefield medical robot. Recover a wounded soldier and stick an IV in his/her arm while traveling back towards safety.]]>Sep 16th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/
Over 98% of the patients I do require an injection of some sort, but as far as this machine/robot goes I'm going to stick with the old fashioned way. First, I like the challenge, and second, I already get looked at funny by most of my patients when I tell them I'm going to inject them with a radioactive material... as soon as I pull this out, they'd probably either pass out on me or run away screaming. I'll pass.]]>Sep 16th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/Sep 16th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/bloodbot-draws-blood-inspires-fear/
