With the emerging mass production of very small, cheap Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, it is becoming feasible to deploy such tags on a large scale. In this paper, we advocate distribution schemes where passive RFID tags are deployed in vast quantities and in a highly redundant fashion over large areas or object surfaces. We show that such an approach opens up a whole spectrum of po...

Modernization of the restaurants using electronics and communication is needed by imparting the smart technology. The technology is to be adopted for restaurants to keep the premises clean and green. Human interpretation is to be reduced to impart the technology. Smart waste collecting system enabled to develop a methodology to collect the waste material into the dustbin provided at the guided ...

A map merging component is crucial for the proper functionality of a multi-robot system performing exploration, since it provides the means to integrate and distribute the most important information carried by the agents: the explored/covered space and its exact (depending on the SLAM accuracy) morphology. Map merging is a prerequisite for an intelligent multi-robot team aiming to deploy a smar...

The nature of emerging business technologies, such automatic identification, and data capture innova­ tions, such as smart cards, touch memory, and RFID, proves to be a difficult process to implement and achieve, despite recent efforts, even as implementation continues to lessen. The economy of scales as­ sociated with bar codes is a difficult barrier to overcome. Two Pittsburgh-based companies...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an exciting, rapidly growing, multidisciplinary technology, which is capable of automatically and uniquely identifying objects or persons by radio frequency within certain proximity. It is emerging as one of most fundamental technologies to ubiquitous computing, Internet of Things, intelligent transport systems, and web of things owing its low cost, auto...
