Path Following of Autonomous Mobile Robot with Distance Measurement using RFID Tags

Abstract

The path following mobile robot is implemented around the world which are mainly related with localization, mapping and transportation. Still now in maximum sector or complex, the mobilization and transportation system in industrial area or an institute building are operated manually. Because of these reasons the Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) system is used to overcome the manual systems. Path following mobile robot is an example of this system. In this paper, we proposed a robot movement strategy to follow the path built by the low-cost passive Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags which not even needs any power source. The main focus of this paper is to track the Read Only (RO) tags without the help of directional antenna to follow the path.
