Abstract
As RFID technology proliferates within the industry, more added value applications employing RFID technology are being created. One main application is inventory tracking where RFID technology is used to create a visibility of goods flowing through the supply chain. This thesis discusses the high-level design considerations and implementation challenges of a mobile RFID system to aid inventory automation in an enclosed environment such as a warehouse. Multiple simulations, 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.
