Autonomous medication distributor through implementation of bresenham's line algorithm

Abstract

The goal of this project is to create an autonomous system that will dispense pills of various sizes and shapes. The overall objective is to utilize the invention to assist in dispersing the appropriate amount of medication for prescribed patients at designated times. It is imperative to take the proper amount of medicine at the specific times prescribed. In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to forget to keep track of simple tasks, such as taking the necessary medications needed for individuals with certain conditions. As people grow older, the ability to recall every day's tasks begins to deteriorate. The autonomous pharmaceutical dispenser will utilize a mechanism that consists of an x, y, and z-axis movement to maneuver a suction unit to transport pills from a capsule to a delivery location. Bresenham's line algorithm will be used to control the motors of the 3D axes movement systems. The dispenser will be able to store a month's supply of tablets with the ability to dispense up to twelve different types of medicines. The system will come with a wireless gadget that will receive notifications from the distributor, alerting the patient to take their medication. In case the user forgets to take his or her medication, the portable device will receive a message. Moreover, an excel spreadsheet will record a detailed summary of the administered medicine. The objective is to create a cost-effective and reliable alternative product for patients to use for their medical needs.
