ABSTRACT

The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a seismic shift, moving from traditional, labor-intensive practices to highly digitized, autonomous ecosystems. As of 2026, digital transformation has evolved from a competitive advantage to an existential requirement. This review analyzes the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies within pharmacy education, drug discovery, and manufacturing. We demonstrate how these smart systems—bolstered by a projected industry-wide growth are reshaping professional competencies and operational standards.

Keywords: Robotics; Artificial Intelligence (AI); Human–Robot Collaboration (HRI); Healthcare Robotics; Industrial Automation; Cybersecurity
