An algorithm for passive RFID based location estimation

In this study, an indoor localization system is developed for the mobile robots. The localization system consists of a passive RFID tag and a reader. The passive RFID tag is placed on the robot and reader antennas are spatially dispersed into the room. For the localization, Selective Adaptive Weighted Centroid Localization (SAWCL) algorithm is used. Performance of the localization system is evaluated for the different tags.
