Incredible Book Scanning Robot

[tubejuanso]

I did a project to scan old books with something like that, the real speed is slower but the machine is not as expensive as you might think. Europe has special funds to scan old books. Million of euros. In just 1 work you could buy one of these, pay the employees and earn about 10k€

That is a very clever design. I like that the high-tech gizmo is matched with wooden boards with slots cut in them.
For people who didn't realize, the V-shaped head vacuums up two pages at a time, one on each side of the V, and scans them as it goes up. The one light illuminates both pages and there are two scanners, one left and one right.
Then, at the top of the stroke, a puff of air flops those two pages over to the left, and the scanner head pulls up two pages again ...the leftward page being the back of what was the rightward page on the previous scan.
It is an elegant design.

Human intervention is necessary to load the book, of course.

modern adf scanners can easily scan 100+ pages per minute, as long as you can dismantle the book...
Most valuable point of this scanner is it can scan without destroying the book.

Why all the negative vibe of this video? It’s amazing we can persevere books digitally and enable text searching through the worlds knowledge

Whoever came up with this idea is a genius 😮

seems like 2 pages per 5 seconds.
= 24 pages per minute
= 1, 440 pages per hour

Edit: I did in fact, consider that it is scanning 2 pages at the same time.

1. Up to 2500 pgs/hr
2. this book is ginormous
3. it can probably move faster than this demo
4. this is a video, not real life

Nice. Keep it going 24/7. Make more. Scan everything from pamphlets to books. Somebody will search it and be happy to find it. 998 dollars for a hardcover book that's 9 dollars on Amazon for Kindle makes me believe in this machine.

Very good device for old books specially and new ones as well.

Vanguard tier bonuses look incredible! Alemio is rewarding its loyal presale participants and early adopters well!

I can't believe robot was the bay harbor butcher

[austing]

I had thought of this same design! So glad to see someone actually did it!

[Nic]

That's why robots are getting so smart.

Energy and various energy types can be designed, included at some models...

[KeweenawPatriot]

I bet theres a bunch of scanned books missing pages because the pages were stuck together and theres no human to notice. The robot scanner will just keep going and tell no one.

[Tmanaz]

The real skill of the machine isnt the scanning, but the elegant way it can turn pages even if the edges are ragged or creased.

[DigitalConfusion]

I wish my brain was attached to such a device when I was in school.

We brining back the library of Alexandria with this one 🗣️

NICE— that's it now...
ROBOTS WHO READ!

That’s F*cking amazing

We truly live in the coolest era imaginable. I think.
