As an integral component of sustainable manufacturing, recycling and remanufacturing have been gaining popularity in line with Green initiatives. While the importance of item-level information their success has been stressed, the potential of RFID technology in recycling/remanufacturing has not received much attention in the research literature. We attempt to address this gap by considering RFI...

The paper deals to design for skilled navigation in mobile robotics usually requires solving two problems pertaining to the knowledge of the position of the robot, and to a motion control strategy When no prior knowledge of the environment is available, the problem becomes even more challenging since the robot has to build a map of its surroundings as it moves. These three tasks ought to be sol...

In recent years, there has dramatic proliferation of research concerned with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The RFID technologies are getting considerable attentions not only academic research but also the applications of enterprise. One of most important issues of applications is the indoor position location. Many researchers have used varied technologies to perform the tracking of ind...

RFID is a key technology that can be used to create the pervasive society. The tag is an important part of the RFID system and most popular tags are some low-cost passive tags. These tags have limited computing and storing resources, and no more attentions are paid to their security and privacy. So the application of these tags is not secure. Lightweight authentication protocols are considered ...

We present the design and evaluation of a flexible UHF RFID reader suited for experimentation. Our reader is built using the USRP software radio platform in conjunction with software we developed in the GNU Radio framework. We believe this is the first inexpensive tool that readily enables changes to the physical and MAC layer of RFID systems. Our reader further has sufficient performance to in...

The collision of ID signals from a large number of colocated passive RFID tags is a serious problem; to realize a practical RFID systems we need an effective anti-collision algorithm. This letter presents an adaptive algorithm to minimize the total time slots and the number of rounds required for identifying the tags within the RFID reader’s interrogation zone. The proposed algorithm is based o...

High Frequency (HF) passive Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is currently a widely adopted technology for mobile HCI with physical objects. Prototypes, pilot projects and industrial systems have been developed in a number of areas mostly following an approach in which RFID tags are either attached to mobile real world entities or carried by mobile users, whilst RFID readers are static and ...

A global indoor localization system based on the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. A reader, installed on the robot, measures the received signal strength indication (RSSI) and the phase shift of UHF-RFID signals coming from a set of passive tags deployed on the ceiling of the environment. The position of the tags in the environment is only roughly known at the beginning. Exploi...

This paper investigates the potential interactions between reader and tag anti-collision algorithms of passive RFID (radio frequency identification) systems. Conventionally, reader and tag anti-collision algorithms are designed by assuming that they are independent from each other. In practice, however, readers and tags usually operate in the same frequency band. Therefore, contention between t...

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags have become pervasive for identifying objects, people and pets, automated payment and theftdeterrents. However, assurance of tag identity has not been built into the RFID environment. Privacy by means of encryption can prevent the data from being human readable but cannot stop a clone being created. This paper considers recent approaches that have been...
