A Design and Research of Pharmacy Management Robot Based on Artificial Intelligence

In order to solve the problems of long queuing time, low efficiency of manual dispensing and high risk of errors in traditional hospital pharmacies, this study designed and developed a pharmacy management robot system integrated with artificial intelligence technology. Through the integration of automatic robotic arm, AI visual recognition and Internet of things perception technology, the system innovatively realizes the intelligent management function of the whole drug process: It includes high-precision drug visual recognition and two-dimensional code scanning, accurate cover opening and drug distribution of multi-axis manipulator, omnidirectional mobile chassis driven by ROS robot operating system, and multi-sensor fusion navigation system based on laser radar and depth camera. Among them, the intelligent packaging module developed by the product solves the problem of insufficient opening accuracy of existing pharmacy robot medicine bottles through the precise lid opening technology of mechanical arm, effectively optimizes the efficiency of drug distribution and the quality of medical service, and becomes an innovative breakthrough in the field of intelligent pharmacy management.
