A Review on Researches and Practices of Library Robots at Home and Abroad

Abstract

Abstract:

Robot technology is increasingly researched and adopted by smart libraries. Robot technology can effectively solve some problems in library management and service, and improve user satisfaction to a certain extent. Based on extensive research literature and best practices of library robots, this paper analyzes
the situation of researches and practices of library robots at home and abroad in depths, and proposes that libraries, relevant research institutions and researchers should introduce library robots rationally, attach importance to corpus construction so as to make the robot more like a librarian, focus on key technologies to take the robot into real library environment, and cultivate relevant technical talents.

Key words:

Smart library, Library robot, Book inventory, ASRS, ChatBot
