Ant's Robbyant humanoid robot R2 now dispenses medicine at Shanghai pharmacy
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-08-23
Ant Group's Robbyant wheeled humanoid robot R2 has been deployed at a real Guoda Pharmacy in Shanghai's Pudong district and demoed self-service medication dispensing at WRC. When an online order arrives, the robot autonomously navigates to the shelf, picks the medicine and delivers it to the packing station, integrated with platforms like Meituan and the Guoda app.
It runs on the newly released LingBot VLA 2.0 + LingBot Depth stack. Customers get medicine faster while staff gain time for professional consultations—especially valuable for late-night community pharmacy needs.
