An apparatus includes a cart having a vertical adjustment element configured to adjust a distance between the platform and a ground supporting the cart, the cart defining a surface for supporting an arm of the patient. The apparatus includes a manipulation device including a plurality of motors each configured to operably couple to a different one of a needle, a catheter, and a guidewire to selectively advance one or more of the needle, the catheter, and the guidewire, and a robotic arm having a first end mounted to the cart 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 a target vessel in the arm.

Robotic systems, devices, and methods for vascular access

Manipulators and cartridges for robotic-assisted vascular access are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a cartridge including a guidewire, a needle, and a catheter that are coaxially disposed with respect to each other; and a plurality of guides coupled to the guidewire, the needle, and the catheter; a manipulation device including a plurality of actuators each configured to couple to a different guide member of the plurality of guides, the plurality of actuators being configured to linearly advance and retract the plurality of guides to move the needle, the guidewire, and the catheter; and a control unit operatively coupled to the manipulation device, the control unit configured to control the plurality of actuators to selectively move the needle, the guidewire, and the catheter to gain access via the catheter to a target vessel of a patient.

Manipulators and cartridges for robotic-assisted vascular access

A smart pet-crate is disclosed. The smart pet-crate provides a den-like habitat for an animal and is configured with electronics that include sensors to detect aspects of the animal's environment and environmental conditioners to adjust the environment within the pet crate in response to the detected aspects. The conditioned environment within the pet crate will provide comfort to the animal, which may help to reduce the animal's fear/anxiety. The smart pet-crate may be communicatively coupled to a body sensor worn by the animal and a computing device used by a human to form a pet care system, allowing for remote control of the pet crate and interaction with the animal. For the particular embodiment of a smart music playing pet crate, a method for selecting songs from a playlist based on sensing and computing the animal's preferences is also disclosed.
