Computer tape storage robot
Computer tape storage robot. Robot moving between banks of stored computer tapes. If a tape is needed the robot removes it from its slot and places it into a tape player, so the data it contains can be read.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a remarkable piece of technology from the late 90s - a computer tape storage robot. In this image, we see the robotic marvel gracefully maneuvering between banks of stored computer tapes at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Centre (NERSC) in California. The purpose of this ingenious creation is to retrieve specific tapes when needed. With precision and efficiency, the robot locates the required tape within its designated slot and carefully transfers it into a tape player. This process allows for seamless data retrieval, enabling researchers and scientists to access vital information contained on these magnetic strips. Taken in 1999 at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, this photograph not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also highlights how automation has revolutionized data storage systems. The automated tape library represented here demonstrates an innovative solution that optimizes both time and resources. Science Photo Library has captured this momentous scene with their usual expertise, providing us with a glimpse into the world of advanced robotics and scientific research. As we admire this print, let us appreciate how far technology has come since then while acknowledging that even back in 1999, engineers were pushing boundaries to enhance our understanding of computing capabilities through inventive solutions like this computer tape storage robot.
