http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3897583.stm Robots get bookish in libraries A group of robotics researchers at University Jaume I in Spain is working on a robot librarian which could deliver the promise of a helpful bot.

Professor Pobil thinks libraries are the best place to start introducing robots into public spaces, or at least to start showing that the technology is possible and works. |
