In one embodiment, a system includes a controller for controlling a robotic accessor, and a memory in communication with and/or integrated with the controller for storing information about media and storage slots. The information includes data corresponding to a physical distribution of the media in the storage slots. Logic integrated with and/or executable by the controller is configured to position the robotic accessor at a computed optimal position during an idle period of the robotic accessor, the computed optimal position being based at least in part on at least one of: (a) the data corresponding to the physical distribution of the media in the storage slots, and (b) a center of access calculated using the data corresponding to the physical distribution of the media in the storage slots.
A system, comprising:
A computer program product for positioning a robotic accessor, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a controller to cause the controller to perform a method comprising:
A method, comprising:
