Abstract

Robotic platforms use RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology in various fields of application (industrial, service, etc.). RFID tags can stores many information about the environment such as type of obstacles and their dimensions, humans, robots types, etc. Robot motion guided with RFID, has, thus, a tags stored data based behavior This article presents the design and the implementation of hardware and software architectures of a basic mobile robot prototype moving with RFID. The actions (walk straight, turn left/right etc.) executed by the mobile robot depend on data stored on the RFID tags. The proposed hardware architecture is based on a Raspberry Pi (single-board nano computer) for sending commands to the actuators and receiving sensorial data, and the Arduino controller-based development board for the low level control. The software architecture is based on Robot Operating System (ROS) nodes for the implementation and approach execution. The proposed architecture provides a fully functional and scalable system with integrating RFID technology.
