ABSTRACT:
The invention is an automated storage library including one or more robotic accessors which move upon the surface of a horizontal plane including the openings to storage cells. The accessors are wireless, remotely controlled vehicles. The vehicles employ known tracking mechanism(s) to move between locations within the library. The storage cells are embedded beneath the horizontal surface. The horizontal plane is a floor which is formed by the surface of the storage cells. Openings in the floor are also the access openings to the storage cells. Storage media are raised and lowered into the storage cells by a picker mechanism on the vehicles.
