Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry is a pillar industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The development of technologies such as artificial intelligence has promoted the widespread application of intelligent dual-arm robots in the field of pharmaceutical dispensing. Intelligent dual-arm robots have injected new vitality into pharmaceutical production, but they also face problems and challenges. In view of this, the latest research progress of intelligent dual-arm robots in the field of pharmaceutical dispensing is reviewed. The particularity of pharmaceutical dispensing scenarios, intelligent dual-arm robot systems and their core challenges in pharmaceutical dispensing are outlined. In response to the bottlenecks and challenges faced by intelligent dual-arm robots for pharmaceutical dispensing, key technologies such as intelligent perception, autonomous scheduling, advanced control, and embodied intelligence are analyzed and summarized. The future development trend of intelligent dual-arm robots for pharmaceutical dispensing is prospected.
