Dependent claims

A method for collaborative control of a library system including a bookshelf robot and a stool robot, the method comprising:

estimating, by the library system, a user's height using at least one sensor and detecting whether the user is approaching the bookshelf robot or the stool robot to obtain situational information about objects within a library space;
recognizing, by the library system, the user's intention or situational context based on the acquired information and a book request input by the user;
and
selecting, by the library system, a task corresponding to the recognized user's intention or situational context and instructing each of the bookshelf robot and the stool robot, which collaboratively perform the selected task, to provide services.

1 more element

A library system for cooperatively controlling a bookshelf robot and a stool robot, comprising:

a communication unit configured to receive measurement values detected using at least one sensor, and
a processor configured to execute commands to control the bookshelf robot and the stool robot to provide a service required by a user,
wherein the processor is configured to estimate a user's height based on the input measurement values, detect whether the user approaches the bookshelf robot or the stool robot to acquire situational information about objects in a library space, recognize the user's intention or situational context based on the acquired information and a book request input by the user, select a task corresponding to the recognized intention or situational context, and instruct each of the bookshelf robot and the stool robot that cooperatively perform the selected task to provide a service.
