Robots are involved in almost all aspects of medical device development and manufacture. Robots for medical purposes are designed with automated vision inspection system because verification is an important phase of medical procedures. Robots assure the precision and programmability required for medical procedures.

Robots can also offer automated handling system to eliminate the monotonous and time-consuming task of handling and packaging unit dose medications, in order to assure that medical staff administers the correct drugs in the right dosages.
