Abstract

The RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag is expected to be used as a tool of localization. With the localization of RFID tags, a mobile robot with an installed RFID reader can recognize the surrounding environment. In addition, it can be applied to a navigation system for walkers. In this paper, we propose a new scheme named Communication Range Recognition (CRR) in order to localize RFID tags effectively. In this scheme, the RFID reader finds the edges of the communication range when its position is moved appropriately by the robot. We evaluate the performance of the estimated position error through numerous experiments. We show that our proposed scheme can reduce the moving distance of the RFID reader without degrading the accuracy of localization in comparison with the conventional schemes.
