Introduction

The primary objective of this project is to explore the expansion of Starship autonomous delivery robots beyond their current food delivery function. The focus is on healthcare and pharmacy services, where Starship robots could be utilized for secure, efficient, and timely medical deliveries on a university campus. This expansion aims to address existing challenges in pharmacy accessibility, medicine procurement, and medical supply transport while ensuring that the service remains safe, reliable, and user-friendly.

The research and design process aims to:

• Identify the current limitations of Starship in real-world usage.
• Develop innovative features and solutions to enhance delivery reliability and security.
• Ensure that the proposed system is accessible, safe, and beneficial to students and campus staff.

By integrating automated pharmacy deliveries, the goal is to reduce long wait times, accessibility barriers, and logistical inefficiencies in obtaining medical supplies and prescriptions on campus.
