Proposal of object management system for applying to existing object storage furniture

Abstract

In this research, we aim to develop object management system for drawer type object storage furniture that we use in our daily life. This system detects stored object in the object storage case for the available object recognition and detects space that object storage case is stored in (After “space”) for stored object rough positioning by using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). Object positioning sensor including RFID reader is put on the near side of each object storage case. This sensor detects object RFID tag ID and space RFID tag ID. These ID is sent with object storage case ID and event ID from object positioning sensor to ID/position converter. ID/position converter makes Robotic Localization Service (RLS) base position data and updates host system position data. RLS is position standardization for robots and defines meta-data of position data mainly. This system enables users and robots to recognize available abject rough position.
