To create a project using both hardware and software, to meet multiple UN sustainability goals.

BookBot is an AI aided wheeled robot that helps librarians and users of libraries to increase their efficiencies and make the experience in libraries flawless.

Our product’s focus is to transport returned books to their designated areas. This reduces the time librarians and library staff spend on physical tasks that would preferably be used on promoting a love of learning in such an enriched environment for students and visitors.

Based off our own Curzon library, some libraries have unstaffed hours where library users self-serve themselves. BookBot will be most helpful during unstaffed hours, ensuring library resources are back in place for when librarians return to work.

Our project was made to promote the UN goals of: good health and well-being; quality education; affordable and clean energy.
