The 2-day trial was conducted to reduce the frequency of manual transportation between floors multiple times a day. When a pharmacist loaded the materials touched screen to set the final destination, then the robot automatically got on and off the elevator across the hallway and delivered it to the nurse's station on the destination floor. There was a moment when hospital staffs started to wonder whether the robot really comes back, while waiting for the robot, but the whole operation went well and people were fascinated by the potential future when robot will be the part of their operation.
