Robot Localisation using UHF-RFID Tags for Industrial IoT Applications

Abstract

Autonomous systems are becoming more and more affordable and effective in dynamic industrial environments. Effective localisation algorithm are usually considered as enablers to increase the efficiency and the flexibility of industrial warehouses and production plants using automation. The paper presents a solution to both localise a mobile agent and reconstruct its entire trajectory through sensor fusion and using UHF-RFID passive tags. Solutions on dummy trajectories are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
