Multi-UAV System for Inventory Automation

Principal Investigator Abel Sanchez


High-level design considerations and implementation challenges of an RFID-reader-equipped multi-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) system to aid inventory automation in a warehouse. We explore simulation, employing probabilistic-like algorithm for navigation decision, was also conducted to visualize the feasibility of the system.

An autonomous vehicle carrying an RFID reader is also implemented to test hardware reliability and the feasibility of a grounded robot to perform inventory in a three dimensional space.
