Pharmacy automation refers to the use of technology and machinery to manage and streamline various tasks within a pharmacy, including distribution, inventory management, counting small objects, and measuring liquids for compounding. It aims to provide efficient, safe, flexible, and consistent services to patients.From: Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering [2021], Multi-objective parallel robotic dispensing planogram optimisation using association rule mining and evolutionary algorithms [2018]

Pharmacy automation handles pharmacy distribution and inventory management and also involves pharmacy tasks such as counting small objects, measuring the liquids for compounding, etc. A companion robot emotionally engages and provides a company to the users and alert the users if there is any problem with their health. A disinfection robot acts as an agent that resists the bacterial spores in the place or room rather killing the microorganisms.

Pharmacy automation provides services with efficiency, safety, flexibility, and consistency (Greb and Rios 2009). Automated systems for medicine dispensing are developed and used by many pharmacies to fulfil large demand prescriptions (Zhao et al. 2008). Many problems arose with this technology, which have been actively discussed in the literature.
