Abstract
The robot path identification towards a specific destination is an important problem for robot movement applications such as logistics, warehousing, and inventorying systems. The Global Positioning System based robot tracking is one of the solutions. However, when it comes to the accuracy of robot movement towards the destination, it is not advisable the GPS based robot movement, because the small-scale robots generally move inside the buildings where it has the signaling problem, and/or travel small distances, where it has accuracy problem. In addition, many algorithms for path identification of mobile robots in the literature need centralized systems to control the mobile robots from collisions. In this paper, we propose a new method for robot path identification with Radio Frequency Identification technology. The simulation is carried out to analyze the performance of the proposed method.
