Autonomous navigation ofamobile robot based onpassive RFID (IEEERO-MAN2007)
Shuji Hashimoto · 2007
Thispaper describes anovel approach ofautonomous navigation foramobile robot basedon*a passive RFIDthat will be usedinhumanliving environment. Conventional approaches using deadreckoning orlandmark areinfluenced--by disturbances suchas thelight condition andobstacles, while theproposed method can obtain environmental information morereliably androbustly with theRFIDsystem. Theproposed method estimates notonly thepo- sition butalso its current orientation without other sensors byusing thedetected sequential ICtaginformation. We examined that the robot reaches tothegoal utilizing only theposition information but nottheorientation information. - ,<~~~~~~~~~a
