Crowdfunded robot pharmacist of the future?

An Indiegogo campaign by a group of health, robotics, AI and software experts, is planned to start shipping Pillo Home Edition to its supporters by July 2017. At the time of writing, the campaign had raised over US 68,000, not far short of its 75,000 flexible goal. Pillo, which tech sites are calling the "future robot pharmacist" and the "pharmacist of the future," is described by the campaign as "an intelligent home robot dedicated entirely to the health and wellbeing of you and your loved ones". "Pillo empowers people of all ages to better manage their health," the campaign says. "He can answer your health and wellness questions, connect you directly with healthcare professionals, and securely manage your vitamins and medication; storing, dispensing, and even ordering refills when you need them.
