Autonomous Robot for Removing Superficial Traumatic Blood

<italic>Objective</italic>: To remove blood from an incision and find the incision spot is a key task during surgery, or else over discharge of blood will endanger a patient&#x2019;s life. However, the repetitive manual blood removal involves plenty of workload contributing fatigue o...
