Robots and Libraries
Definition of Robot 
• an automatic mechanical device, capable of 
carrying out a series of actions automatically 
especially ones programed by a computer. 
• Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous 
and range from humanoid to industrial, 
collectively programmed swarm robots, and even 
microscopic nano robots.
Behind the Scenes
ASRS 
• Over 25 libraries around the world, especially 
those belonging to Universities have moved to 
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems. 
• Replacement for traditional stacks. Allowing 
libraries to keep their whole collection at one 
location and in perfect condition.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Charlie 
• Charlie is the elusive Robotic Book Trolley who 
calls the National Library of Australia, home. 
• If you ever visit the NLA, and take a Behind the 
Scenes tour, you might catch a glimpse of 
Charlie.

Advantages and Disadvantages
The Librarian 
• The Librarian is a project designed by the 2012 
Seniors of Engineering at Calvin College in 
Michigan, USA. 
• Their project was to design and build a proof 
of concept for a book indexing robot.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Robots for Education 
and community engagement
Vincent and Nancy 
• Vincent and Nancy are the two new robots at 
Westport Public library. They join an already 
successful Makerspace. 
• Vincent and Nancy are designed and built by 
the French robotics company Alderberan 
under the NAO name.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Makerspaces and 3D printing. 
• Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as 
hackerspaces, are community orientated creative, DIY 
spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and 
learn using a variety of tools. 
• These spaces are popping up in public libraries, all 
around Australia. 
• 3D printing refers to the process of creating a three 
dimensional object, in which successive layers of a 
material, usually plastic, are laid down under computer 
control.
