1. A needle insertion system comprising:

  • a moveable hollow needle having a distal tip configured to be transdermally inserted into a vertebrate subject at an insertion-target region;

    at least one sensor operable to detect skin structure at a position in proximity to the distal tip of the moveable needle in the insertion-target region; and

    control circuitry operably coupled to the at least one sensor and configured to receive information therefrom indicating the skin structure at the insertion-target region in proximity to the distal tip, and the control circuitry configured to output moveable needle targeting instructions to control movement of the moveable needle into the skin in response to one or more signals from the at least one sensor detecting the skin structure in proximity to the distal tip.
