So Panasonic is creating a robot to dispense any number of drugs to patients in hospital. They announced that the robot maybe dispensing drugs as soon as  March in some Japanese hospitals. The medical robot will be released later to Europe and the US. They have been in development for a couple of years on their first robot and hope to have this generating revenue in the field of $315 million by 2016. The robot will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or a lot more yen. Panasonic isn’t going for the usual robot design we see today. Its more like the robot out of “Flight of the Navigator” the one where Sarah Jessica Parker sneaks in on,and the kid sneaks out of. There are a lot of compartments, and small cubbies to store your prescribed goods. The robot can dispense about 400 prescriptions to 400 patients with in the period of about 2 hours, also including injection drugs. Panasonic is excited about its new robotics development center and its first robot, and plans to develop more in the coming future.
