Abstract
This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Conventionally, in automated prescription prepa ration, prescriptions are provided in pucks to an arm having multiple rotational axes (e.g., a five-axis or six-axis robotic arm). The pucks are configured to r eceive individual prescription containers. The robotic arm moves the prescriptio n containers from pucks of an incoming conveyor to a tote of an outgoing conveyo r. The conventional robotic arm has a limited range. Thus, the robotic arm is li mited to servicing a single incoming conveyor and a single outgoing conveyor. Th e conventional system is incapable of expansion for more incoming or outgoing co nveyors.”
