Japanese giant Panasonic has designed a robot that will help pharmacists to give out drugs to patients. The robot will be connected to electronic medical records and will scuttle around Japanese hospitals picking up prescriptions from patients. In a hospital with 400 beds, the robotic drug dealer will finish the job in only two hours, compared to the four hours it will take for a skilled pharmacist to complete the task. These robots will be available in Europe and the States very soon. The company has plans to develop other medical robots that will help old people move around. [Newlaunches]
