Application of AI and Robotics in the library world

Slide 1
Slide 2
Example Frame

As one of the leading library system providers, HKC proudly announces the creation of LIBRA ROBOT. With the advent of technologies in AI and Robotics, making sure every book return to its proper shelf location becomes a robot’s task.   

LIBRA ROBOT, an autonomous system, makes extensive use of a technology called “Simultaneous Localization and Mapping” (or SLAM for short) that enables the robot to continuously construct and update a map of the library environment while simultaneously keeping track of our robot’s location within it.  Our software application gives the robot the intelligence to locate each bookshelf; even each of the individual horizontal shelf, and read the ISBN numbers off the books on the shelf using RFID technology.  It then compares these ISBN numbers against records in the library database and generates reports for the book inventory and misplaced books for the human librarians to rectify later.

The LIBRA ROBOT not only finds “lost’ books and does inventory, it also functions as a navigation guide for library users. Visitors can simply key in the books they want, and the LIBRA ROBOT will lead them to the destination bookshelf.

In the near future, we will equip LIBRA ROBOT with voice recognition capability and touch panel for interaction with the visitors, thus providing a new height of experience to our library users and making the librarians’ lives a little easier in the process.
