In real life, intelligent library “curators” are not uncommon.
This library robot can perform various functions, including intelligent Q&A, guidance, book information inquiry, search, and delivery. It enhances the efficiency and quality of library services, providing readers with more convenient, efficient, and personalized services while also promoting the digital and intelligent transformation of libraries.

With the buff enhancements from the Athena 2.0 pro robotic chassis, the intelligent library “curator” can accurately recognize its environment and location in real-time. Combined with SLAMTEC’s proprietary SLAMWARE autonomous positioning and navigation algorithm, it effortlessly achieves environmental perception, obstacle avoidance, optimal path planning, and logical understanding, enabling it to perform tasks such as reception, guidance, and delivery within the library.
SLAMTEC has always pursued making robot movement more flexible and intelligent. A truly smart robot is one that can autonomously navigate and avoid obstacles.
The upgraded Athena 2.0 series chassis not only autonomously plans paths and avoids obstacles, but also optimizes movement strategies based on different application scenarios, addressing various mobility needs and environments. It supports different navigation modes, which can be used individually or in combination, enhancing mobility intelligence。
