Abstract
In community implementation project, the students must examine, develop and evaluate the feasibility of service mechatronics which supports people's lives. At ONCT, answering the community's request, we hold events featuring the robot which entered the NHK National College Robot Contest. Therefore, though this activity, we through of making a robot related to a library. As a requirement for a robot, it must have a need for service to the users. To confirm if there is a need, we asked some questions to the workers in the library. Through the questionnaire by the workers, we realized that there were many opportunities for them to help find books for small children who can not find it on their own. And, through the questionnaire by the users, there were answers saying that if a robot can assist the library users in some way, it will help children to be more interested in books. As a result, we were able to realize that there is a need for robot which can guide young children to a book they want to read.
