Smart floor: Indoor navigation based on RFID

In this paper the use of Wireless Power Transmission is employed to power up ID sensors located below a ceramic tile. The system developed with this technique allows the implementation of a very low cost indoor localization system based on RFID. This passive sensor identification is then transmitted through a SimpliciTy connection to a database, where a location algorithm is implemented. The system was built and tested in a test bed environment with satisfactory results.
