Queue, a Palo Alto, Calif.-headquartered startup building a fully autonomous robotic pharmacy, closed a seed round led by AlleyCorp.
A study by GoodRx found that nearly a third of Americans don’t fill their prescriptions due to high costs and access issues.
Nearly one in three U.S. pharmacies have closed since 2010, contributing to the rise of so-called pharmacy deserts.
Each cell in the system can hold thousands of pills, and it can fill a vial of 60 pills every 30 seconds.
It’s designed to make fulfilling a prescription as simple as walking up and displaying a QR code on a phone to verify the script.
Queue launches prescription kiosks with a $12.6M seed round
The kiosk uses computer vision to identify every pill to a National Drug Code (NDC) and prescription for high accuracy.
A machine that promises zero human involvement will have to convince state pharmacy boards that its checks match a human’s.
Queue is positioning autonomous prescription fulfillment as a new infrastructure layer for American healthcare, enabling pharmacy services to move closer to patients while improving unit economics.

A one-year-old Palo Alto startup building robotic pharmacy kiosks that verify prescriptions by QR code and dispense common medications in retail, hospital, and underserved locations.
Each unit can stock approximately 250 to 280 of the most commonly prescribed drugs, with inventory tailored to local demand.
AI monitors medication levels and alerts pharmacy technicians when replenishment is needed.

Here’s what we built.
What you just saw is the world’s first fully autonomous robotic pharmacy — going from sealed wholesale bottles to filled, verified prescription vials with zero human involvement.
We built Queue because no one should ever have to wait in line for the medicines they need. One in three US pharmacies has shut down. Pharmacists are overworked to a breaking point. And patients are paying the price. Queue fixes that. Pharmacists get to practice pharmacy again — counseling patients, catching interactions, doing the work only they can do. And patients get their prescriptions in 60 seconds or less, any time, anywhere.
