Design of intelligent and robotic library system

Abstract

In the project we will demonstrate a design of intelligent robotic library system. In this system for intelligent operation is done by the programming in visual basics(VB) and Microsoft access is used for database, like to know information about user and books of library. In this system robotic arm is used for pick up and place the book with the help of sensors like barcode reader and IR sensor, RFID tag on book and RFID transmitter on ARM, motors for arm mobile base. However, for sending commands and data through GUI to the arduino controller of arm, processing software is used. For issuing and returning book another GUI is provided which we can use to check availability of books. After checking the book availability that book number is sent through zigbee or any wireless media from computer in library and received at robotic arm side. Every shelf and every book is having identification by using RFID tag and barcode. Once the book is passed through reader, the controller checks the received number from zigbee with number scanned by barcode reader. If both the numbers are matched then robotic arm will pick the book. If that book is not available then a notification is given to librarian system. After receiving that book it will place to library table.
