Description:
An Autonomous warehouse robot that is able to keep track of the warehouse inventory. This autonomous agent will roam the warehouse in a predetermined path and check the inventory. Inventory checking will be implemented using RFID system. Autonomous agent will contain an RFID reader. All containers entering warehouse will be tagged with passive RFID tags, which contain information specific to the individual container. AWIR (autonomous warehouse inventory robot) will roam the warehouse using line following. Line to be followed will be strategically placed so that AWIR has easy access to any container in the warehouse. When the roaming AWIR detects a container it will approach it (minimal distance required for a successful ID read) and read the passive tag enclosed within the container. Upon successful completion of RFID tag read, AWIR will relay information contained in the tag to a computer or a PDA via Bluetooth. Once the information about the scanned tag has been successfully transmitted to the receiving device (computer/PDA), AWIR will continue to wander the warehouse.
