Sudden fever, diarrhea, or urgent need of medication in the middle of the night. Nearby pharmacies have closed, but orders placed online show “next day delivery.” Many people have experienced this kind of experience. According to a survey by relevant agencies, more than 90% of residents have had nighttime medication needs, and more than 60% of respondents believe that the need to buy medication at night has not been fully met. From “no medicine to buy” to “getting medicine on time,” the “last mile” of buying medicine late at night is still a real problem in residents' health services. As artificial intelligence begins to enter pharmacies, can this challenge usher in new solutions? At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, an exhibition area called “Robotic Smart Pharmacy” was crowded and filled with visitors. Several humanoid robots are completing the entire process of receiving orders, taking medicine, sorting, and delivering. The reporter launched a “man-machine PK” on the scene. Although in the end, the reporter completed the challenge before the robot, the staff said that the real advantage of the robot is not that it can run faster in a short period of time, but rather that it can work stably for 24 hours. No matter the number of orders during the day or late at night, you can maintain stable efficiency without fatigue, and the quality of service will not deteriorate due to peak hours. Some visitors said that the robot moves smoothly and recognizes accurately. If it can guard pharmacies 24 hours a day in the future, it will effectively solve the problem of purchasing drugs at night, and also allow unmanned pharmacies to have more application space.
