Automated Library System Using Robotic Arm

Abstract

A library is a collection of information resources and provides invaluable services to its users for reference and borrowing of books and documents. As the library grows in size, the problem associated with the maintenance of the books also grows. Searching a book in the library manually is a tedious process and if there is any misplacement of the book either intentionally or unintentionally then it consumes more time and more effort to search the book. To overcome this problem an attempt is made to introduce automation of library for fast searching of books and to pick or place the book in a particular rack. A robot with an arm is developed which is able to find the book at particular position and then pick or place in a particular rack in the library.
