Abstract：Due to the rapid development of robotics and machine vision technology,service robots are being used in an increasingly wide range of settings,including hotels,supermarkets and hospitals.In this study,an intelligent medication delivery robot has been designed and fabricated to simulate the collection and delivery of medicines between the hospital pharmacy and patient wards.The robot is equipped with an STM32 microcontroller as the main control core and a DC deceleration motor and TB 6612 chip for driving.One OpenMV camera uses template matching to identify ward numbers,while another uses thresholding and binarisation image processing to perform road recognition and line tracking.These features enable the robot to recognize roads and wards automatically,as well as delivering medicine autonomously.
