Project Summary

In older days libraries were manually automated so they required much manual power to operate. Library contains thousands of books that are borrowed and so it hectic task for the librarian to manage this all by himself. Also, the finding of book also becomes difficult for the user and for the librarian as thousands of books managed by human being. We can overcome this problem by giving our proposed solution. In this technique we will keep an independent assistance automated associate whose usefulness incorporates the help of people inside a library climate.

This paper defines the method and technology in which we enable the robot in fully autonomous system, namely, a surface tracking robot with the use of navigation technique. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is carried through navigation system to scan the tags or we can say the bar codes of each book. Based on the report of tagging book the book is identified either it is missing or is on his place. To guarantee fruitful distinguishing proof, the surface

Following requires high precision, for which we propose a sifted Hough change and a full scale small controller structure. Trial of the framework in a library show high precision in the filtering execution.

Line following is a drawn-out yet significant interaction for stock administration. Specifically, a library without any problem contains countless books that are every now and again acquired and gotten once again to the racks. To work with clients to effortlessly find a specific book, books are set in committed regions and arranged in a running grouping in light of their alleged call numbers. Library staffs need to guarantee that the books are put in request, which is a very work concentrated and tedious interaction. Library staffs first need to perform rack perusing, i.e., physically look for books that are lost in some unacceptable book arrangement, then, at that point, get the book and addition it in the right area. Radio Frequency Recognizable proof (RFID) innovation has been acquainted with ease rack perusing, for example, by utilizing hand held RFID peruses by the by the errand is as yet tedious and the client still can only with significant effort decipher the RFID results to check whether the books are sequenced appropriately. Shrewd rack, then again, employments numerous RFID radio wires that are put at numerous vital areas to filter the RFID labels. The high framework cost and execution intricacy stays a hindrance for this innovation to be broadly embraced

Project Objectives

The main objective of the project is to introduce automation in the library for finding and providing the book to the users. This is done by introducing the robot witha base and a gripper  which is controlled using the Arduino. The time-consuming process and effort done by the librarians are reduced by introducing this robotic system in libraries. The library assistant robot consists of various components that have their functionality inlocating,finding, and returning the book. The objectives of designing a robot for the aid and assistance in routine task management are given as followsTo explain the design of a robot capable of picking book from library when user gives commandTo develop a robot that can pick any book using RFID sensor.To describe the importance of 4-wheeled mechanical structure automated book picking robot.To make easy for user to find any book from GUI system. The input to the robot is the number of the book which is given through wireless Bluetooth technology. As it was wireless, the robot can move anywhere up to 10 meters without any interruption of wires. The robot uses the line follower which is done by using the predefined line on the floor and detected by the IR sensors. We use the dc geared motors to run the wheels of the robot whose rotation is controlled based on the line follower. Each rack is defined with different colors which are detected by using the color sensor. All the books in the library are provided with RFID tags with unique RFID numbers. TheRFIDreader attachedto the robotic arm detects the book using the tags inside it. The articulated type of robotic armisusedforpicking andholding the book.  

servo motors with 3 degrees of freedom anda gripper is used

to handle the book. TheArduino MEGAis themicrocontroller

board that controls the whole robot by giving instructions to

allthe other components. TheArduinoMEGAisprogrammed

using the Arduino IDE software.

Project Implementation Method

We are going to implement our project on controller Aurdino UNO. Arduino will be connected to our Bluetooth module that will be using transmitting and receiving module and will be connected to pins of transmitting and reciving on Arduino. 4 dc gears motors will be connected to arduino via motor sheild. We will be using AWM pins to control speed on arduino with motor drivers. For the implementation of gripper we will be using servo motors and a lift system to pick a book at any height of right. 

microcontroller will start processing the command to

read the location of book (e.g. section, and height). Based

on the extracted information, microcontroller will send

signal to activate the power window motor to lift the

gripper to the desired level height. Next, Arduino will

decide the appropriate path to reach the target, and then

the robot will start moving by following the path until it

reaches the right section. The robot will keep moving

until the optical reflex reader detects the needed section.

When the robot reaches the target section, a signal will be

sent to the RFID reader to start scanning for different

tags.

The moment that RFID identifies the serial number of

the tag that is matching the serial number sent to

Arduino, Arduino will send signals to the DC motor of

the robot to stop moving, then will send signal to the

gripper motors to grip the book. After picking the book

up, the robot will reverse its movement direction to go back and deliver the requested book.

Benefits of the Project

Libraries are having issues with career advancements,

technical requirements, and tracking performance. The

library contains a large number of books that are frequently

borrowed and returned to the shelves. Searching for books

in the library is a time-consuming and difficult task. Library

staffs have to ensure that the books are placed in an order

which is an extremely labour-intensive and time-consuming

process.

To automate this process of finding and returning the book

to the user, we have introduced a library assistant robot

using the knowledge of embedded systems, RFID, and

robotics. This robot recognizes the required book using the

RFID tags and brings it back to the user. It helps to reduce

the effort of the librarian or reader in finding the book and

also reduces the time consumed for finding the books which

make the work fast and easier. In Materials supply system, line following robot based system can play a important role in field of hospitality. This can be further implemented using barcode scanners and barcode strips to reduce cost of the system when used with a bulk number of books or items. The same Principle can be used in the super markets to make an automated item collector.
