IoT-Based Automatic Library Management Robot

Robots are engaged in various activities in our day-to-day life. The aim of this paper is to mitigate the need of a librarian for collecting books from the library counter and arranging them in respective racks one by one. The main principle of the Library automation robot is based on the following: Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID), dynamics of the robotic arm and Line Following. The software module allows the user to reserve books that are available in the library. This robot in the library will be helpful in eliminating the problem of misplacement of books. This line follower robot scans the RFID tag in the book and finds the place of the rack where the book needs to be placed. The proposed robot will pick and place the books in its respective racks. This project also provides the database of books available for reservation purposes regardless of the place. At the same time, it sends a reminder message to the user about the due dates. The aim of this robot is to replace the manual work in the library.
