This paper describes a way to improve the indoor navigation of mobile robots using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. A net of RFID tags is deployed in the navigation space. A measurement system measures distances from the tags to the robot with in the presence of the firstorder Markov-Gauss colored measurement noise (CMN) and is combined with a digital gyroscope to measure the robot heading. To increase the localization accuracy, the Kalman filter (KF) and unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) modified for CMN are used. It is shown that the navigation system developed is more accurate than the basic one employing the standard KF and UFIR filter

An RFID technology facilitates the work of different industries, it's used widely in many applications, like in the banking system. Banks are trying to give better services to their customers by using modern technologies. This paper presents the identification of persons (customers, employees) in a BANK and to utilize the simulation of this technology in order to make an electronic banking system more useful. Our system splits into two parts. The first is concerned about the customer by giving RFID tag attached to a checkbook, the second part is concerned about the employees by giving RFID tags attached to Identification Card (IDC). These tags are scanned by readers when entering the bank and processing of their information is performed in order to identify, track, monitor, verify, and give more satisfying services to customers such as reduction of waiting time, ability to bring security, accuracy and integrity of the banking systems of the country by accelerating most of the banking works by using electronic infrastructures without disturbance for special customers.

Counterfeiting has always been a concern, costing a significant amount of money and causing losses in international trading markets. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag Anti-counterfeiting is a conceptual solution that has received attention in the past few years. In this article, we present a survey study on the research topic of anti-counterfeiting products using RFID tags on merchandise. As this issue evolved in industry, there were several techniques used to address the problem; each technique uses a different concept and mechanism in resolving the issue. Each technique also has different pros and cons which we will address at the end of this paper with our findings. As we explore RFID technology and its implementation, we will discuss previous research before proceeding to the core of the topic of RFID Anti-counterfeiting based on the methods used. We compare the different techniques used at the end of the paper.

Chip-less radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is capable for detecting, identification, and chasing for the future Internet of Things (IoT) systems and applications. The chipless RFID technology gives us the impression as a rising substitute of the traditional RFID tags and barcodes by encoding data from tags employing the radio frequency waves. The paper presents the design as well as simulation of chip-less Plus shaped RFID tags. The structure is composed of Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 by means of a substrate having the physical dimensions 40mm x 40mm over which eight resonators are placed. This tag is compact, and the resonators are closely placed. The tag is designed using Ansys Electronics Desktop.

The paper focuses on the environmental burden created by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in the Slovak Republic (SR). In order to determine the burden there, a model example was created to calculate electronic waste produced by households in the SR by placing RFID tags into municipal waste. The paper presents a legislative regulatory approach towards the environmental impacts from using RFID tags in the SR, as well as an analysis of the environmental burden of using RFID tags throughout the world. The core of the paper is focused on the research conducted in order to calculate the environmental burden of a model household in the SR, where the number of used RFID tags per year was observed; then, the volume of e-waste produced by households of the Slovak Republic per year was determined. In the conclusion, we provide the results of the research presented and discuss including our own proposal for solving the problems connected with the environmental burden of RFID technology.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is promising, as a technique, to enable tracking of essential information about objects as they pass through supply chains. Information thus tracked can be utilised to efficiently operate the supply chain. Effective management of the supply chain translates to huge competitive advantage for the firms involved. Among several issues that impede seamless integration of RFID tags in a supply chain, one of the problems encountered while reading RFID tags is that of collision, which occurs when multiple tags transmit data to the same receiver slot. Data loss due to collision necessitates re-transmission of lost data. We consider this problem when Framed Slotted ALOHA protocol is used. Using machine learning, we adaptively configure the number of slots per frame to reduce the number of collisions while improving throughput.

A printable elastic silver ink has been developed, which was made of silver flakes, dispersant, and a fluorine rubber and could be sintered at a low temperature. The printed elastic conductors showed low resistivity at 21 μΩ·cm, which is about 13.2 times of bulk silver (1.59 μΩ·cm). Their mechanical properties were investigated by bending, stretching, and cyclic endurance tests. It was found that upon stretching the resistance of printed conductors increased due to deformation and small cracks appeared in the conductor, but was almost reversible when the strain was removed, and the recovery of conductivity was found to be time dependent. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags were fabricated by screen printing the stretchable silver ink on a stretchable fabric (lycra). High performance of tag was maintained even with 1000 cycles of stretching. As a practical example of wearable electronics, an RFID tag was printed directly onto a T-shirt, which demonstrated its normal working order in a wearing state.

RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology is rapidly emerging for the localization of moving objects and humans. Due to the blockage of radio signals by the human body, the localization accuracy achieved with a single tag is not satisfactory. This paper proposes a method based on an RFID tag array and laser ranging information to address the localization of live moving objects such as humans or animals. We equipped a human with a tag array and calculated the phase-based radial velocity of every tag. The laser information was, first, clustered through the DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm and then laser-based radial velocity was calculated. This velocity was matched with phase-based radial velocity to get best matching clusters. A particle filter was used to localize the moving human by fusing the matching results of both velocities. Experiments were conducted by using a SCITOS G5 service robot. The results verified the feasibility of our approach and proved that our approach significantly increases localization accuracy by up to 25% compared to a single tag approach.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been used in numerous applications, e.g., supply chain management and inventory control. This paper focuses on the practically important problem of the rapid estimation of the number of tags in large-scale RFID systems with multiple readers and multicategory RFID tags. RFID readers are often static and have to be deployed strategically after careful planning to cover the entire monitoring area, but reader-to-reader collision (R2Rc) remains a problem. R2Rc decreases the reliability of the estimation of the tag population size, because it results in the failure of communication between the reader and tags. In this paper, we propose a coloring graph-based estimation scheme (CGE), which is the first estimation framework designed for multireader and multicategory RFID systems to determine the distribution of tags in different categories. CGE allows for the use of any estimation protocol to determine the number of tags, prevents R2Rc, and results in higher time efficiency and less power-consumption than the classic scheduling method DCS.


This study represents a device to identify the location of an Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) child using an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This is a wearable device, that is to be worn by the autism child, which allows the parent to track the child anytime, anywhere .The RFID technology is implied for the location tracking, The RFID Tag is affixed on the device, the reader which is supposed to sense the RFID tag is placed at the spots such as classroom etc. The reader when it senses the tag notifies the parent through a message. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the activation signal produced by the reader. The encoded data present in the integrated circuit of the tag is being encoded by the reader and the data is delivered to the host computer for processing. The location can be sent to parent in the form of a normal text message via GSM. Autism children deserve to acquire knowledge and explore the environment. To overcome the obstruction this device will be of immense help.

A compact chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag-based on slow-wave technology is introduced in this paper. The tag consists of a resonant circuit based on open stub resonators periodically loaded by shunt stubs allowing a coding capacity of 9 bits and operating in a frequency range from 2 to 4GHz. The receiving and transmitting antennas of the tag are particularly designed to minimize the tag size as much as possible. The proposed tag presents a robust bit pattern with a compact and fully printable structure using FR4 substrate for a low-cost tag.
