Abstract

This study attempted to propose various application and function improvement plans by analyzing robots operated in the libraries. Thus, the types and functions of robots operated by 16 domestic and foreign libraries were examined. Most of them were used for Librarian Assistance (Book Inventory, Book Delivery, Etc.) and User Service (Facility Guide, Search Aids, Etc.). Besides, the introduction of robots in the National Library of Korea (NLK) and their functional limitations were analyzed. As a result, this study presented the need to develop additional functions for the robot, develop quarantine and security robots, the need for a national-level policy for robot diffusion, and build a robot ecosystem.

이 연구는 도서관에서 도입 및 운영 중인 로봇에 대한 분석을 통해 다양한 활용 방안과 기능 개선 방안을 제안하고자 하였으며, 이를 위하여 먼저 국내외 16개 도서관이 운영 중인 로봇의 종류, 기능에 대해서 살펴보았다. 대부분 사서보조업무(장서점검, 자료이송 등)와 이용자 서비스업무(도서관 안내, 자료검색 보조 등)에 활용되고 있었다. 그리고 국립중앙도서관이 도입한 로봇의 특징과 기능적 한계를 살펴보았다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여, 1) 로봇의 추가기능 개발 필요성, 2) 방역 및 안전관리 로봇 도입 필요성, 3) 국가차원의 로봇 확산정책의 필요성, 4) 로봇생태계 구축의 필요성을 제안하였다.
