Hugh prototype

Hugh was a prototype of an artificial intelligence robot librarian designed by William Sachiti and Ariel Ladegaard [1] at Aberystwyth University, which was first publicized in February 2016. [2] Hugh's intended function was to help users locate books in a library and navigate them to it. Hugh did not leave the prototyping stage and never entered into use in Aberystwyth University library. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
