Camera-guided retrieval assembly for use within media library

A media library, comprising:

• a storage slot that is configured to receive and retain a media cartridge;
• a first target that is coupled to the storage slot;
• a retrieval assembly that is configured to move the media cartridge into and out of the storage slot, the retrieval assembly including an assembly body, an image capturing apparatus that is coupled to the assembly body, and a second target that is coupled to the assembly body;
• a control system including a processor that is configured to control operation of the retrieval assembly by:
• when the retrieval assembly is positioned such that the first target and the second target are both in a field of view of the image capturing apparatus, causing the image capturing apparatus to capture at least one image having both the first target and the second target;
• and
• determining, using the at least one image, an offset between the first target and the second target;
• and
• causing the retrieval assembly to move based on the determined offset between the first target and the second target;
• and
• a lighting system that is coupled to the assembly body of the retrieval assembly, wherein the lighting system is configured to illuminate at least the first target and the second target within the field of view of the image capturing apparatus.
