The growing elderly population faces challenges in accessing timely medication due to physical limitations and dependence on caregivers. To address this, the proposed Elderly Medicine Delivery Robot integrates autonomous navigation, Bluetooth-based indoor tracking, and wireless communication to deliver prescribed medicines efficiently. The system employs an STM32 microcontroller for robot control, motor drivers for mobility, and ESP32 modules for real-time localization of the elder’s mobile device through RSSI signals. Additional features such as obstacle detection, LCD-based interface, and compartmentalized medicine storage enhance usability and safety. This robot aims to reduce caregiver workload, improve medication adherence, and promote independent living among the elderly.
