“…Robots are employed in libraries to browse printed items in real-time using a Web interface. When the system is activated by the user, a robot is sent out to retrieve the required object (Okpokwasili-Nonyelum, 2019). The robot will hand off this object to another robotic system, which will operate robotically to open it, turn the pages, direct pupils to the proper book shelves and collect newspapers from any period and date (Norwin, 2020).…”

Purpose Libraries may become obsolete in the 21st century unless they begin to harness new technology and improve information and service delivery. This paper aims to examine the emergence of robotic technologies with its implications to academic libraries in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The research, which was conducted on a desk, examined how the adoption of robotic technologies may affect library services and operations. Findings It is believed that robot adoption in libraries can enhance library services and give users with reliable information that can foster growth and development in the information age. Originality/value This paper is the original idea from the authors and does not reflect on any copyrighted materials. The paper recommended that academic libraries should collaborate with their parent institutions or organisations to create a strategy plan for cutting-edge technology, such as robots; federal and state governments should strengthen their alliances with robot vendors to take advantage of direct support; and open communication between library management boards and librarians should be encouraged, particularly when it comes to the acceptance and use of robots in libraries.

“…In libraries, robots are used to browse printed materials in real time via a Web interface. The user will activate the system, which will then launch a robot to retrieve the requested item (OkpokwasiliNonyelum, 2019). The robot will deliver this item to another robotic system, which will open it and turn the pages automatically, as well as lead students to the appropriate bookshelves and retrieve newspapers from any time and date (Norwin, 2020).…”

Purpose Humanoid robots that are artificially intelligent have infiltrated almost every aspect of life, including libraries, and can do things that humans are incapable of doing with greater efficiency in the library. It is on that note that this study has examined artificial intelligence (AI) humanoid robots for public libraries reference services. This study aims to discuss AI and draw the link between it and robotic technology. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted conceptual analysis and review of literature on AI humanoid robots for public libraries reference services. Findings This study focused not only on humanoid robots but also discovered that there are other types of robots relevant to libraries including chatbot, telepresence and shelve-reading robots as well as general robots such as aerospace robots, drones and army robots, commercial entertainment robots, industrial robots and medical-surgical robots. This paper also reported the usefulness of robots in libraries, and zero in on robots and reference services in the library. Lastly, this study reported the impact of humanoid robots on reference services in public libraries. Originality/value This paper is the original idea from the authors and does not reflect on any copyrighted materials. This study recommended among others that public libraries (in collaboration with their parent organisations) devise a strategic plan for new and emerging technologies such as humanoid robots.
