A new intelligent adaptive adjustment reading shelf is designed in this study, and the application of dual CPU is adopted. In this system, the raspberry processor ARM Cortex-A53 is used to design the system. The whole system is composed of three parts: the reading shelf terminal, the cloud server, and the application end user platform. The terminal of the reading shelf is equipped with a single camera, which can recognize the reader’s forward, backward, left, right, head, bow, and correct sitting posture in real time, and can control the reading shelf up and down, right and left adjustment through controlling the rotation of the stepping motor, so as to track the reader’s posture automatically. In addition, the intelligent reading shelf can upload the users’ time, reading attitude, and other information to the cloud server and form the user archives for the users to visit. The design product can be widely applied to kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, library reading rooms, and ordinary families. It helps readers to sit upright, develop good reading habits, and achieve significant social and economic benefits.
