In this paper, the use of passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a support technology for mobile robot navigation and environment mapping is investigated. A novel method for localizing passive RFID tags in a geometric map of the environment using fuzzy logic is, first, described. Then, it is shown how a mobile robot equipped with RF antennas, RF reader, and a laser range finder can use such map for localization and path planning. Experimental results from tests performed in our institute suggest that the proposed approach is accurate in mapping RFID tags and can be effectively used for vehicle navigation in indoor environments.

We propose a novel technique for acquiring effective information for obstacle avoidance in mobile robot navigation and for object detection in vision image. Instead of simply receiving data at a single point, we actively give perturbations to the system and measure the response from the system. Correlating the input and the output, we can formulate the correlation function and, useful information such as gradient can be obtained from this function. This algorithm is applied to the obstacle avoidance in mobile robot navigation and the object detection in vision image processing.
