A RFID Landmark Navigation Auxiliary System

This paper proposes the development of an RFID system to aid in the navigation of autonomous mobile robots. The use of the system to enable a mobile robot to estimate its pose is described. The paper presents a method to obtain fine orientation readings, a task neglected by former works. We also analyze one uncertainty source of this approach. Experimental and simulation results are presented in the paper to demonstrate the effect of the method. Finally, we present a possible alternative method to adapt to non-constant speed movement.
