Abstract: Dispensaries and pharmaceuticals in Hospital today faces problem in retrieving of drugs. To overcome this problem, we introduced automatic retrieving of drugs using robot arm. In this project paper the robot will autonomously retrieve the medicines as per the command given. The robotic arm is carried in an Automatic Guided Vehicle for pick and place operations.  Microcontroller and sensors are used to control the wheel movement. The robot arm is controlled by servos. By this method human error can be minimised and there will be no confusion in retrieving drugs.
