Drones for Intralogistics using IoT

19/01/2021

There is a growing desire for warehouse automation to reduce operational costs and improve logistics efficiency. In this work, we survey the state-of-the-art on the use of indoor drones for warehouse inventory leveraging current RFID technology. We propose a system architecture to automatically carry out warehouse inventorying by detecting RFID item tags while autonomously navigating the facility. A routing algorithm was developed for a Reserve Area of configurable dimensions. The navigation is complemented by leveraging OpenCV and the frontal camera to perform mid-flight corrections based on visual markers serving as reference points. We outline the proposed system architecture and develop it as a proof-of-concept design.
