Abstract

The paper deals with discovering a surface covered with a grid of RFID transponders using a group of robots and a master control unit. The robots move across the surface, read data from the transponders and send it to the master. The master collects the data, analyze it to create a map and sends commands to the robots. This way optimization of robot movements is possible to speed up the discovery. Two types of RFID grid have been considered: square- and triangle-based. A laboratory prototype has been created with class 2.0 robots and the master unit running CPDev SFC program under Windows IoT.
