Robotics in the library: Students win Price for NAO optimization

The progress in the library world: robot as a helper in Ludwigshafen

In a future -oriented initiative, six students from the Ludwigshafen University of Economics and Society optimized the humanoid robot NAO for use in the city library. This project, which was carried out as part of the master's program "Business Informatics with a focus on Data Science & Consulting", shows how modern technology can revolutionize library work.

The role of NAO in modern libraries

NaO was trained to support library services and thus increase the efficiency and availability of these services. The students focused specifically on media advice and linked Nao to the library software Bibliotheca and the KI Chatgpt. Through these adjustments, NaO is able to provide visitors information about the availability and location of the media.

important award and recognition

The team was awarded the “Team Award Information Professionals” (TIP) for their innovative work, which is awarded annually and for which the group applied due to their remarkable results. This award is not only honored by specialist journals, but also by conferences in the field of information and library sciences, which further underlines the importance of this achievement. As a reward for their efforts, the students received a premium of 800 euros.

The importance of robot technology in the library landscape

The implementation of robots in libraries is a growing trend that could change the way information is provided. By using artificial intelligence, libraries can not only work more efficiently, but also create a more modern and user -friendly experience for their visitors. The progress that NAO demonstrates in this facility are an example of how technological progress contributes to improving the accessibility and quality of services in public literature.

FAZIT

The optimized use of NAO in the Ludwigshafen city library not only stands for the success of the students involved, but also for a new era in library work. The synergy between man and machine has the potential to fundamentally change the library landscape and ensures that libraries can continue to fulfill its valuable functions in the community.
