Blood Sucking Robots - The Bloodbot is a Highly Trained Surgical Instrument for Extracting Samples
The Bloodbot is a Highly Trained Surgical Instrument for Extracting Samples

I’d be lying if I said I was scared of needles. After many years of trips to the doctor’s office, a needle is simply just another medical procedure. What I can say I’m scared of is the Bloodbot.

The Bloodbot is a surgical robot that has been designed to automatically take blood samples from you when required. The Bloodbot finds a vein and goes in for the job (by the way, its accuracy is 78%).

I understand the surgical importance and convenience of the Bloodbot, but I can’t help but worry I may have to use that one day.

Only 78 percent accuracy? Hmm...I don't know about that--doesn't seem high enough for me to trust it with my veins. Any idea what the accuracy rate is for humans?

This is the type of thing from nightmares. Imagine it taking another stab after missing the first time. How many punctures could it take?
