Abstract

Robotics technology deals with design, construction, operation and application of robots. Robotics has become an extremely large and eclectic discipline. By introducing applications of autonomous robotic, easy repetitive tasks can be accomplished keeping the demands of accuracy and speed in mind. Although many robots are available in market but our MedRobo is designed by fulfilling the needs of pharmaceutical industry. For the use in pharmaceutical industry man power is required however this unique robot separates the expired and other medicine cartons itself by using the IR sensors. MedRobo is designed in such a way that it is fu:ed on board in front of conveyor belt and it works in collaboration with PC instruction about separating the RED color or GREEN color tagged cartons and places them randomly in the work area. These RED color tagged cartons denote expired medicines and GREEN shows medicines having certain temperature requirement. Instructions for robot are programmed in C++ language that proceeds through PIC microcontroller and interfacing between PC.
