Abstract	The use of robots in open and distance learning university libraries is a relatively new and innovative concept that has emerged in recent years as a response to the increasing demand for remote access to library resources and services. However, there seem to be limited studies that focused on the adoption of robots in open and distance learning university libraries. The study through a review of literature from a global perspective examined the adoption of robots in open and distance learning university libraries. The study drew data and information from the literature gathered manually from various databases including Google Scholar, research gate, and Scopus. The study discussed the adoption of robots in distance learning university libraries, examples of distance learning university libraries adopting robots per region of the world, the factors open and distance learning university libraries consider for adopting robots in their services, services distance learning university libraries use robots to offer, data on distance learning university libraries adoption of robots, benefits of using robots in open and distance learning university libraries, ethical and practical concerns in the adoption of robots in distance learning university libraries, and challenges of using robots in open and distance learning university libraries. The study concludes that the adoption of robots in open and distance learning university libraries can be beneficial for both library operations and users. However, libraries must carefully evaluate their needs and goals before adopting the technology and take steps to address any potential challenges that may arise. Based on the conclusion, the study recommends among others that open and distance learning university Libraries should carefully consider their specific needs and goals before adopting robots and ensure that the technology is implemented in a way that benefits both library staff and users.
