Object Recognition Using a 3D RFID System

摘要

Up to now, object recognition in robotics has been typically done by vision, ultrasonic sensors, laser ranger finders etc. Recently, RFID has emerged as a promising technology that can strengthen object recognition. In this chapter, the 3D RFID system and the 3D tag were presented. The proposed RFID system can determine if an object as well as other tags exists, and also can estimate the orientation and position of the object. This feature considerably reduces the dependence of the robot on other sensors such as vision systems required for object recognition. With the fast growth of RFID technology, the field of robotics will benefit greatly, and our research will support the investigation of its use in practical applications.
