Abstract

The integration of robotics in library security and surveillance represents a transformative approach to enhancing safety and operational efficiency. This study examines the adoption of robotic technologies in library settings, focusing on their potential to improve security measures and surveillance capabilities. It explores the adoption of robotic technologies, such as autonomous patrol robots, AI-powered surveillance systems, and RFID-based theft detection to enhance library security. While robotics offers efficiency, 24/7 monitoring, and reduced human error (Smith & Lee, 2022). Through a comprehensive analysis, the research identifies key factors influencing adoption, challenges like cost, privacy concerns, and technical limitations persist (IFLA, 2023). Through a review of case studies and emerging trends, this paper evaluates the feasibility, benefits, and ethical implications of robotic adoption in libraries. The findings aim to provide insights for library administrators and policymakers to make informed decisions regarding the implementation of robotic solutions
