Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of passive radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for environment mapping and surveillance by an autonomous mobile robot.

Design/methodology/approach

–

Proposes a fuzzy inference method to localize RFID tags in the environment.

Findings

–

Demonstrates that RFID technology can be successfully integrated in mobile robot systems to support navigation and provide the robot with mapping and surveillance capabilities.

Originality/value

–

Use of fuzzy reasoning to learn the model of the RFID device and localize the tags, enhancing the capability of the system to recognize and monitor the environment.
