Recent developments in robotics outside traditional industrial applications increasingly focus on robots operating in an unstructured environment and human vs. robot interactions. Among the most recent application fields for robots used in unstructured environments are personal and service robotics, space and underwater robotics, medical and rehabilitation robotics, construction robotics, agriculture robotics. However robots that are designed to perform specific library tasks are relatively rare. In this case a mobile robot arm is used to manipulate the books on a shelf. In this context, this paper describes the most relevant performances of prototypes designed for robotic manipulation of book material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
