Autonomous Pharmaceutical Dispensing Robot

Abstract

Pharmaceuticals is an industry of paramount importance considering the present day scenarios taking into account the evolving variants of the COVID-19 virus. It holds the cards in diagnosis, control and treatment of any disease. Therefore accuracy and precision of the medicinal administration is critical in treatment. The revolutionary and immeasurable capabilities and potential of application of robotics in health-care industry have proven to attain perfection and raise the bar of efficiency and quality of health-care theoretically and practically worldwide. The interdisciplinary characters of robotics have contributed limitless dominance in the field broadening the quality standards and also expedite the discovery and delivery process of specific drug formulary. The objective of this project is to design and develop a prototype of drug delivery robot that fetches the specified drug from the stockpile that have been categorized appropriately by adopting a simple pick-and-place operation by the robot to fetch any drug that has been specified to it from the source of storage. The input specified will be the prescribed medicine and the robot autonomously navigates fetches the medicine from the source of storage.
