Hospital Medicinal Dispensing Robot

An autonomous dispensing robot designed to deliver medication within hospital wards combining safe navigation, secure storage and a verifiable dispensing workflow.

Engineering design process

  1. PH-01Stakeholder & clinical-workflow requirements capture
  2. PH-02Concept trade study: gantry vs. carousel dispensing
  3. PH-03CAD design with DFM review and tolerance analysis
  4. PH-04Prototype fabrication and integration
  5. PH-05Verification against dispensing-accuracy requirements

Challenges

  • Guaranteeing single-dose dispensing repeatability
  • Packaging drive, storage, and electronics in a ward-safe envelope

Lessons learned

  • Safety-critical design starts with requirements, not mechanisms
  • Early DFM review prevented late-stage fabrication rework
