This paper presents a novel application of the Axiomatic Design (AD) theory to an innovative medical device. A multi-function modular cabinet for medical delivery is designed to deliver various medical supplies simultaneously in consideration of the multi-function delivery demands of typical surgical instruments, organs, drugs, and fluid at modern hospitals. Said demands for medical supplies are systematically analyzed, and four components are established: heating system, cooling system, humidifying system, and dehumidifying system which altogether ensure dynamic balance so as to achieve an uncoupled heat preservation and humidity retention system that meets various delivery demands. By using the multi-function modular cabinet design to build a prototypical medical delivery robot, the proposed technique is proven capable of multi-function delivery and medical resource conservation
