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]
