ABSTRACT: Automatic robot navigation is being utilized in many industries for the
purpose of high speed work delivery. Color follower, fix path follower robots
are current solution to this activities but dynamic path configuration is not
possible in these robots. Hence new system proposes effective and fully dynamic
path follower robots using RFID and directional antenna. Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) system permits automatic identification of objects with
RFID tags using radio waves which have been widely used in mobile robot
navigation, localization and mapping both in indoor and outdoor environment.
This article presents a navigation strategy for autonomous mobile robot using
passive RFID system. Proposed robot system is provided with RFID tag functionality
which will load tag number and direction instruction. At some turning point,
user will put RF tag, this tag will be read by RF reader which is placed on
robot. As per direction instruction robot will change the direction and reach
to the destination. Also as per the movement, robot will send its GPS location
to PC (Personal Computer) which will be displayed on PC. Hence main goal is to
provide more reliable and low energy consumption based indoor positioning
system which will be achieved using directional antenna.
