1. How It Works:
Installed with a data-capture device, the
Drone identifies items by reading RFID tags.
Ideally, the Drone can automatically fly in
desired routes.
Applications:
The Drone can save time and cost for locating
items with RFID tags in places like large
industrial facilities or shipping yards.
What Is This
Demo:
1:Using a smart
phone to read RFID
tags and process
data in our software
2: Conceptually
demonstrating the
project using RFID
reader
Try It:
Fly the Drone and view
the data it gathers in
our software.
Lessons Learned:
Pros of using bluetooth:
Easy to assemble
bluetooth (smart phone)
to the Drone
Cons of using bluetooth:
Expensive and bulky
because tags are battery
powered
Pros of using RFID
readers:
Cheap, efficient
Cons of using RFID
readers:
Antenna is too heavy to
be carried on drone
