D 新素材 图书馆的机器人助手
This is the city library of Greenville. A group of students from Park Middle School are visiting it today. They are not here to borrow books with human librarians(图书管理员), but to meet their robot helpers.
One robot is named Libro. He is tall and white. When visitors look for a certain book, Libro is always ready to assist them to get to the right bookshelf.
"Libro makes finding books fun and easy. Many young visitors enjoy following him, and they think he is a great helper," says Ms Carter, a librarian at Greenville Library.
The library uses robots to make its service better. ▲. The first one is Libro. He is a guide and book finder. The second one is named Poet. He can read stories aloud in 15 different voices and even tell jokes. The third one is called Clean-Bot. He quietly moves around at night, organizing books and keeping the shelves tidy. The last one is Memory, a history helper. She can show old pictures and videos on her screen and tell historical stories.
"These robot helpers are wonderful, but it doesn't mean that human librarians are not important," director of the library says. "The robots cannot understand a reader's deep feelings or give personal advice about what to read next. Our library will always need real people for that."
