“…Moreover, certain robots using these technologies [9] cannot be tracked or transversed to places beyond the pre-defined RFID boundary. While some ideas include the use of RFID tags and line following robot to eliminate issues regarding misplacement of books others include the use of aerial drones and computer vision to address the same [10] [11]. While almost all of these ideas are designed to work with well demarcated indoor areas within the library none of them are designed to work with outdoor environments.…”

In order to ease the process of library management many technologies have been adopted but most of them focus on inventory management. There has hardly been any progress of automation in the field of issuing and returning books to the library on time. In colleges and schools, hostellers often forget to timely return the issued books back to the library. To solve the above issue and to ensure timely submission of the issued books, this work develops a 'Book-Bot' which solves these complexities. The bot can commute from point A to point B, scan and verify QR Codes and Barcodes. The bot will have a certain payload capacity for carrying books. The QR code and Barcode scanning will be enabled by a Pi Camera, OpenCV and Raspberry Pi, thus making the exchange of books safe and secure. The odometry maneuvers of the bot will be controlled manually via a Blynk App. This paper focuses on how human intervention can be reduced and automates the issue part of library management system with the help of a bot.

“…Johns Hopkins University developed an autonomous book access robot that can grasp and store books using robotic hands, which requires loosely arranging books and improving the existing shelf structure (Suthakorn et al , 2006), and V. S. Prabhu created an Internet of Things (IoT)-based book management robot that uses robo-hands to access books of varied thicknesses. The robot, on the other hand, is not scalable enough, and its clamping book efficiency is not particularly high (Prabhu et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Managing archives using robots rather than people can considerably enhance efficiency, while need to modify the structure of archive shelves or installation tracks. This paper aims to develop a fully automated archive access robot without modification. Design/methodology/approach First, a mobile navigation chassis and a motion algorithm based on laser ranging and map matching are created for autonomous movement to any of the archives’ locations. Second, because the existing archives are stacked vertically, the bionic manipulator is made to mimic the movement of manual access to the archives, and it is attached to the robot arm’s end to access different layers of archives. In addition, an industrial camera is used to complete barcode identification of the archives and acquire data on their location and thickness. Finally, the archive bin is created to store archives. Findings The robot can move, identify and access multiple archival copies placed on floors 1–6 and 2–5 cm thick autonomously without modifying the archival repository or using auxiliary devices. Research limitations/implications The robot is currently able to navigate, identify and access files placed on different levels. In the future, the speed of the robot’s navigation and the movement of the robot arm could be even faster, while the level of visualization of the robot could be further improved and made more intelligent. Practical implications The archive access robot developed by the authors makes it possible for robots to manage archives instead of human, while being cheaper and easier to deploy than existing robots, and has already been tested in the archive storage room of the State Grid maintenance branch in Jiangsu, China, with better results. Social implications The all-in-one archive access robot can replace existing robotic access solutions, promote intelligent management of the archive industry and the construction of unmanned archive repositories and provide ideas for the development of robots for accessing book-like materials. Originality/value This study explores the use of robots to identify and access archives without changing archive shelves or installing auxiliary devices. In this way, the robot can be quickly applied to the storage room to improve the efficiency of archive management.

The article presents the main stages of the development of remote control system for the inspection mobile robot operating on inclined ferromagnetic surfaces. The mobile robot remains on the surface and moves along working areas using separate clamping permanent magnets and caterpillars. The focus is on the control system’s architecture and remote data transmission based on Internet of Things technologies. Features of non-expensive Arduino Uno and WeMos D1 R2 mini microcontrolled development boards, cloud service Blynk, as well as multi-tab Android application interactions are revealed at the inspection mobile robot movement on the inclined surface. Experimental results of the proposed system show a good compatibility of chosen hardware, user-friendly human-machine interface and high mobility for future research of modern control algorithms at Internet of Things approach implementation for the extreme robotics.
