Abstract
Mobile robots are revolutionizing healthcare with their potential to streamline logistics, patient care, and facility maintenance in hospitals. This paper introduces a mobile robot designed for medicine distribution in patient rooms, detailing its mechanical design and working principle. A scenario demonstrating robot path planning for medicine distribution is presented. Future research directions are outlined.
