Techman Robot has successfully implemented Taiwan’s first-ever “AI Robot-Powered Self-Service Book Retrieval System” in Taoyuan City, leveraging its cutting-edge AI vision and smart collaborative technology. This innovative system integrates the TM AI Cobot, a smart robotic arm, with an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to create an automated and intelligent book handling process, setting a new milestone for human-robot collaboration in libraries.
AI Vision and Smart Collaboration Usher in a New Era of Library Automation
Powered by built-in AI vision and high-precision motion control, the TM AI Cobot can autonomously identify the locations of books, navigate pathways, and recognize placement areas. After a reader reserves a book through the online system, the AI robotic arm collaborates with the AMR to initiate the retrieval task. It automatically pulls the specified book and transports it to the “Reader Pickup Area”. The entire process is fully automated by AI, delivering a “zero-wait, zero-error” smart book retrieval experience and advancing library lending services into a new realm of automation.
Intelligent Scheduling and Unmanned Transport Enable Uninterrupted Overnight Operation
The TM AI Cobot continues to operate even after the library closes, assisting librarians with book transportation and organization. Through an AI-powered task scheduling system, the cobot automatically assigns transport duties, moving books from the “Librarian Shelving Area” to the “Reader Pickup Area”. This significantly reduces manpower requirements and ensures the continuous circulation of library materials.
A New Paradigm in Human-Robot Collaboration: AI Technology Enters Public Spaces
This application represents the culmination of Techman Robot’s extensive expertise in the AI x Robotics field, extending the use of smart collaborative robots from industrial manufacturing to educational and cultural venues. With its safe human-robot interaction design and flexible AI computing capabilities, the TM AI Cobot allows the library to enhance technological efficiency, pioneering a new service model centered on human-robot collaboration.
TM AI Cobot Technical Highlights:
- AI Vision and Auto-Positioning: Accurately identifies books and spatial locations.
- Smart Task Scheduling System: Enables fully autonomous, round-the-clock operation.
- High-Safety Design for Human-Robot Collaboration: Suitable for applications in public spaces.
- Scalability: Adaptable for diverse applications, including smart logistics and educational exhibitions.
