Intelligent Storage and Retrieval Systems Based on RFID and Vision in Automated Warehouse

摘要

Abstract—The automated warehouse is widely used in different kinds of corporations aiming to improve the storage and retrieval efficiency. In this paper, the robot system with RFID and vision was applied into the design of warehouses. Firstly, the RFID system is used to localize the target roughly and obtain the attributes of the target. Then the onboard vision system is used to recognize and locate the target precisely. Finally, the robot control scheme is designed based on the results of image processing, and the teaching mode and remote mode are used flexibly to assist robot to grasp the target. The combination of these two modes can not only reduce the complexity of robot control, but also can make full use of the results of image processing. Experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system. Index Terms—intelligent storage and retrieval systems, robot control, RFID, robot vision, automated warehouse I.
