In this research paper we present the design and rapid prototyping processes of a stage-based controller for a robotic arm in an automatic search and retrieval system (ASLRS) of books in a library, called Biblio-bot. The design of a stage-based controller uses sequential and combinational decision rules based on state machines and flow charts of the Simulink State flow environment. This toolbox allows automatic code generation at real-time execution and validation of designs in virtual reality environments. We show outcomes of the Biblio-bot project concerning the design and tuning of books, recovery processes using the robotic arm. This process is the most critical task in the Biblio-bot system performance.
