AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing self-service medicine vending machines cannot perform post-processing after dispensing medicine boxes, cannot handle the dispensing of prescription drugs or mixed dispensing of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and cannot handle erroneous medications when incorrect medications are dispensed.

Method used

The system is equipped with a recycling unit and a shape control unit. It uses AI image recognition algorithms to identify the tilt angle and size data of the medicine box, determine the shape of the medicine box and perform correction processing, including tilt judgment, upright judgment and shape correction operations. After ensuring that the medicine box is in an upright state, it is labeled and incorrect medicines are recycled.

Benefits of technology

The self-service medicine vending machine can automatically recognize and adjust the shape of the medicine box to ensure that the medicine box is in an upright position, making it convenient for users to take the medicine. It can also handle the scenario of mixed prescription and non-prescription drugs, reducing the cost of manually collecting incorrect medicines.
