Introduction. Robots are rapidly being introduced into various spheres of our life. Today, such technologies are increasingly used in medicine.

For today the scientists did not create a multifunctional robot-doctor, which would completely replace a person. But they constantly creating all new machines that perform separate functions and do not look like people at all.

Unfortunately, for today medical robotics are not so perfect, and because of its cost is not allowed to talk about the widespread use of such technologies in modern medicine.

Rapid development of robotics in the world opens new opportunities in many areas, including medicine. If you analyze recent professional scientific publications about medical robots, as well as the latest news on popular online portals about medical applications of robots, you can see that the last 2-3 years there has been a sharp jump in the development of the market for real medical robots that are delivered directly to work in the clinics.

The latest developments help to transport in the hospital not only medicines, but also patients. Engineers from the Japan Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), together with Tokai Rubber Industries, developed the robot RIBA (short for Robot for Interactive Body Assistance). This robot is able to lift a patient weighing up to 60 kg from a wheelchair, transfer and carefully place it on the bed. In addition, the robot is able to help the patient to stand up and support him while walking. Bearlike machine is equipped with a set of tactile sensors, which allow you to optimally respond to the weight of the patient and his position. The shell is made of soft polyurethane plastic. A robot cart equipped with wheels that can move in all directions gives the robot a good maneuverability. TheФ built-in intelligent control system can recognize the voices and faces of patients, perform voice commands, and so on.

If we will talk about medical robotics in our country, unfortunately we can not give an example of robot that is in utilizing now. But today we have great opportunities to create our own robots for medical purposes. In universities students work with different constructors in order to make models of robots which will then used in various spheres.

In order to develop medical robotics in Kazakhstan we aimed to create model of robot Pill-Helper, which will transport drugs to patient in time. Before making the robot it was necessary to visualize robot, how it will work and how it will appear in life. That is why was created this project work.

Aim. The study aims to create a 3D computer model of the robot Pill-Helper, which is a virtual robot to transport the drug to the patient, which will be the foundation for the development of the real robot model.

Methods and materials. In order to achieve these results, the following methods and materials were used:

1. Data collection on the subject of "Virtual modeling of robots":

A) analysis of the collected information

B) individual interpretation of the collected material in the form of charts, tables and comparative schemes

2. Work with Lego Digital Designer software to create visual 3D model of the robot:

a. Selection of components for the visual model robot

b. Connection of the individual parts in one design of 3D computer model of the robot

Results and discussion. During work on this project was collected information about the programs used to create 3D models. Among the broad selection of programs appropriate for the designer Lego were: SR 3D builder, LeoCad, Lego and others. Of these, Lego Digital Designer was the most appropriate program which is the latest update of the company Lego. The criteria for the selection of the program is that it is possible to create a variety of 3D-objects based on LEGO construction. A virtual 3D model of the robot Pill-Helper was created in the interface of this program. Developed 3D model of the robot is a projection of the robot Pill-Helper, capable to remind the patient to take a medication, opening the cell with the right medication, and is able to transport them directly to the patient's bed. The virtual model of the robot will be realized in the future work on the creation of a real functioning robot model. Testing of visual model shows the effect of the cells, the direction of movement, and also it is helped to correct an error in connecting separate parts of construction which interfere with the normal functioning of the robot cells.

Conclusion. In conclusion I would say that the visual model of the robot Pill-Helper is a priority for the construction of a real robot model. Visualization of the model gives the future representation of the robot, its functional parts. Based on the virtual representation of the robot we will be able to implement his plans to life.
