Abstract
It’s quite common for elder people to easily become the victims of age-related diseases making them to rely on someone for their survival. With people running behind their duties and tasks all round, it has really become a cause of concern to take utmost care of their elders. The most common issue they face is providing them the right medicines in right amount at right time. There are situations where the aged people cannot arrange for the medicines on their own. It is this problem that made us to propose an idea of an autonomous bot, that would administer the medication process. Based on the user’s programmed instructions, the bot will travel to the place of the user and dispenses the required medicines. All these information’s are stored in the cloud for future references and decision making. The proposed bot is developed and tested for different test case and monitored using a separate mobile application.
