Pillo the robot is the personal pharmacy that combines face recognition, video conferencing, machine learning and automation to create a personal health assistant that can dispense vitamins and medication.

    Built by Pillo Health, the robot will recognize each user’s face and voice, dispense the proper pills at the appropriate time, and automatically reorder medicine before it runs out.

    The company claims the robot can have a conversation with its owners, and will learn as he goes along.

    Pillo has omnidirectional* speakers and microphones that can pick up sound from all directions. “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,” the project website says.
