Intelligent Humanoid Librarian

Abstract

Librarians have always been a crucial element of libraries and have provided insight and information to patrons relentlessly across the ages. Still, as time advances, they could use some help to ease their workload, and this is where the Intelligent Humanoid Librarian system comes in. By implementing technological advancements into the library setting, the system aims to introduce a humanoid robot named NAO6, which has been specifically integrated with a large language model’s capabilities from OpenAi’s product ChatGPT, to function as a Smart Librarian with which library patrons can interact and have conversation with. By using NAO6, it seeks to provide information about the library’s collection, all while engaging in clear and well-structured dialogue. In addition, a microprocessor will be used to create a self-checkout station that uses facial recognition to identify users, Radio Identification (RFID) tags are used to make it simpler to borrow and return books. As a result, implementing this system tries to achieve higher user interaction within libraries, improve general access to information, make inquiries easier, as well as meet the various needs of the library patrons.
