A novel system developed at MIT uses RFID tags to help robots home in on moving objects with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The system could enable greater collaboration and precision by robots ...

Meh and Walmart both refer to Chase as a “robot”, while Target calls it a “ tripod ”: neither term seems right to me (although Target’s a bit closer to reality because you can attach a tripod to it, ...

Notably, our approach does not require tracking the object’s trajectory (red circles); instead, it relies solely on the robot’s internal sensors for the calibration process.

Using RFID tags, the researchers were able to make robots more efficient and accurate when tracking moving objects. The development carries major implications for the future of drones ...

With precision, tests revealed that robots equipped with the RIFD technology are capable of locating tagged objects within 7.5 milliseconds, on average.

While light waves can't pass through walls or other objects, radio waves can. MIT's RF Grasp robot uses a camera and RF reader to find and grab tagged objects even when blocked from the camera view.

Humanoid robot David is perceiving a cup using his RGB-D camera; in the following, he will grasp it and fill the dishwasher. Tracking objects and kinematic structures in 3D space and determining their ...

(Nanowerk News) A novel system developed at MIT uses RFID tags to help robots home in on moving objects with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The system could enable greater collaboration and ...
