I. INTRODUCTION
Robot is mechanical gadget that works naturally with
humanlike expertise.The use of robot has increased
intensively, robotic arm are very flexible with the more
accurate and efficient sensors.It is kinematic chain of rigid
links interrelated by movable joints. Robotics is associated to
electronics, mechanics, and software. In thisdesign, links are
considered to correspond to human arm as upper arm and
forearm. Wrist joint is last part of arm. All the problems
anddifficulty for the library management process has been
acutelystudied [1]. In this anticipate we are building up a
framework utilizing sensors, as indicated by the sensor
information the development of the robot is controlled.
Utilizing mechanical arm this framework picks the book from
source area and spots at fancied area.The aim of this project is
to build up a self-sufficient robot utilizing the National
Instruments myRIO as a part of expansion with graphical
programming called LabVIEW. LabVIEW is a graphical
programming tool which places great emphasis on dataflow
and allows for code to be executed in parallel[2]. LabVIEW

is the heart of this system. NI myRIO is a versatile implanted
gadget. It consists 10 analogueinputs, 6 analogue output and
40 digital I/O.At that point robot moves towards thebook
shelves position avoiding obstacle during this path travel using
sensor data [3].LabVIEW programming is used to control and
monitor the system.For returning the book robot grab the book
from return counter and placed at book shelving rack.
Ultrasonic sensor is used for obstacle avoidance. We can
remotely recognize the NI myRIO target, deploy applications,
and utilize shared factors.Odometry is used to convert motion
into pulses. Servomotors are used in robotic arm and DC
motors are used in mobile robotic platform with wheel drive.
