Intelligent drug delivery trolley is an advanced intelligent drug delivery equipment. Compared with traditional manual drug delivery, it has higher drug delivery efficiency and lower error rate. In this project, an intelligent drug delivery car is designed and manufactured, which can recognize the road route and the room number of the target ward through visual recognition technology. The trolley selects the corresponding route according to the identified room number, accurately transports the drugs to the target ward, and can return to the pharmacy after the drugs are delivered. The intelligent drug delivery car uses DC power supply, and the motor drive module controls two DC motors, which overcomes the problem of excessive deviation of turning angle. The trolley line inspection function uses closed-loop control to improve the accuracy of line inspection and the controllability of trolley speed. The identification of ward number is completed by the camera module with microcontroller, and has the functions of adaptive adjustment of ambient brightness, distortion correction, automatic calibration and so on. The communication between two cooperative drug delivery vehicles is realized by Bluetooth module, which achieves efficient and accurate communication and interaction. Experiments show that the intelligent drug delivery car can accurately identify the room number and plan the route to deliver drugs to the far, middle and near wards, and has the characteristics of fast speed and accurate judgment. In addition, two drug delivery trolleys can cooperate to deliver drugs to the same ward, with high efficiency and high cooperation.

Coronavirus 2019 has brought severe challenges to social stability and public health worldwide. One effective way of curbing the epidemic is to require people to wear masks in public places and monitor mask-wearing states by utilizing suitable automatic detectors. However, existing deep learning based models struggle to simultaneously achieve the requirements of both high precision and real-time performance. To solve this problem, we propose an improved lightweight face mask detector based on YOLOv5, which can achieve an excellent balance of precision and speed. Firstly, a novel backbone ShuffleCANet that combines ShuffleNetV2 network with Coordinate Attention mechanism is proposed as the backbone. Afterwards, an efficient path aggression network BiFPN is applied as the feature fusion neck. Furthermore, the localization loss is replaced with alpha-CIoU in model training phase to obtain higher-quality anchors. Some valuable strategies such as data augmentation, adaptive image scaling, and anchor cluster operation are also utilized. Experimental results on AIZOO face mask dataset show the superiority of the proposed model. Compared with the original YOLOv5, the proposed model increases the inference speed by 28.3% while still improving the precision by 0.58%. It achieves the best mean average precision of 95.2% compared with other seven existing models, which is 4.4% higher than the baseline.
