摘要

The system has a loading module (10) in which parallelepiped boxes i.e. medicine boxes, are loaded, and a grasping and transporting unit constituted of robots located along surfaces of a counter cabinet (40) provided with shelves. One of the robots is controlled to push the boxes from a row where the boxes to be supplied is located. The other robots are controlled to receive the boxes to be supplied and to place the boxes to be supplied in a supplying module. Each robot has a pinch that is composed of a metallic strip, and a support plate for supporting the boxes.
