Tianjin University develops AI robot that can automatically organize books with RFID technology

One million books is hard to find, and a large number of books are difficult to return. This is an embarrassment often encountered by many libraries. Recently, the AI Smart Map robot developed by Tianjin University has been employed in Tianjin University Library. It can not only help drifting books find the correct position, but also analyze according to the reading interests of readers, thereby optimizing procurement and placement.

The "Smart Map" robot integrates many sophisticated technologies such as robot navigation, map construction, radio frequency positioning, computer vision, artificial intelligence, etc., and can realize automatic and intelligent book inventory operations. When counting books, the RFID reader installed inside the robot can automatically scan the books on the bookshelf, automatically read the tag information, and complete the book positioning. In the future, with a robot arm, "Smart Map" can also realize the automatic return of books.

In addition, the R & D team implemented a "Smart Fun" system using depth cameras and RFID technology. It is fixed above the bookshelf and can recognize the movement of students to read books. It also uses face recognition to make identity judgments, digging readers' reading interests and popular books. degree.

The "Smart Map" robot was developed by the team of Professor Li Keqiu, director of the Department of Intellectual Computing of Tianjin University and the recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.
