) announced on October 17 that its Intelligent Systems Research Institute has developed a robotic system to handle and sort drug ampules ampule /am·pule/ (am´pul) a small glass or plastic container capable of being sealed so as to preserve its contents in a sterile condition; used principally for sterile parenteral solutions., in collaboration with Ookuma Electronic and Applied Vision Systems (AVS).

The new system, which is based on Versatile Volumetric Vision, a high-functional 3-D vision system developed by AIST, can automatically discern various ampules and syringes and sort them out with precision.

The three partners will strive to commercialize the system within two years. They expect that the new system will contribute to preventing medical accidents and improving work environments for medical professionals, particularly for pharmacists.
