A review of research on intelligent robots and their key technologies for pharmaceutical production

Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry is the foundation of the national economy and peoples wellbeing,and the development of the pharmaceutical industry is of great significance to the national economy and the health of the citizens.With the development and maturity of artificial intelligence,intelligent robots have been widely used in the pharmaceutical production industry.Intelligent robots have enabled pharmaceutical production to achieve new breakthroughs in production efficiency and quality,but it also faces many problems and challenges.In view of this,the state-of-the-art research on intelligent robots in pharmaceutical production was reviewed.The common intelligent robots in pharmaceutical production and the challenges they faced in application were summarized,including aseptic pharmaceutical robots,filling and sealing robots,quality inspection robots,intelligent handling robots,etc.Aiming at the current challenges faced by intelligent robots for pharmaceutical production,key technologies such as control based on multi-source information perception,human-computer interaction,flexible grasping,bottle mouth positioning,quality inspection,path planning,and task scheduling were summarized.The future trend of intelligent robots for pharmaceutical production was prospected.
