Abstract:Development of an RFID-Based Semi-autonomous Robotic Library Management System A novel low-cost robotic solution is proposed to automate the library inventory management process of book arrangement with little to no human interventionA line following robot with multiple sensors and actuators has been designed to operate on a path Library AutomationThe purpose of this system is to automate the tasks of inventory management and book arrangement in the libraryA novel low-cost robotic solution is proposed for automating the book arrangement process in library inventory managementsignificantly reducing manual interventionA line-following robot with multiple sensors and actuators was designed to operate on the path connecting bookshelves and placement positionsThe article also designs the robots CAD model and details each subsystemThe robots working principlepath planningand the control algorithms involved in its movement are discussed through the electronic architecture and software stack sectionA simple PID control scheme is used to control the low-level drive of the four traction motorsThe feasibility of the proposed solution is then verified by developing a simple prototype
