Automated Library System Using SMS Based Pick and Place Robot

Abstract

Library management system aims to automate the library processes throughout a collection of actions as book loan, catalogue, indexing, and recording. This paper goes one-step further in the automation of library systems by using the IoT and robot for more precise and reliable automation. In this proposed work, Pick and place robot has been integrated with GSM technology, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) equipment, and sensory technology to enhance the robot functionality. The augmented robot, in this work, is used to automate the process of picking the library books and sending them to the borrower table. The user can control the robot movement inside library remotely using SMS commands. In this paper, redesigning the library ground was implemented to let the robot moves freely between the shelves. The experimental results showed the ability of robot to collect books with different thickness and weights from different shelf levels at different distances with accuracy up to 97.33%.
