It's all part of the dream to make robots more practical. After all, robots are interesting demonstrations of technology, but if they can't be helpful to the rest of us, they'll never succeed commercially. So robotics engineers are hard at work teaching these machines how to do things that save time for humans: Roomba sweeps floors, hospital robots shuttle supplies for health care workers, and industrial robots assemble cars. So why not have a robot that grabs library books for you?
Of course, you wouldn't need a robot at all if all the library books were scanned and loaded into an ebook format. But that would anger book publishers, who don't even seem to like the idea of public libraries these days. (It's all that darned sharing!)

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
