Advancing toward Automated Material Counting and Localization Using RFID, a Boston Dynamics Spot Robot, and a Bayesian Filter Algorithm

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of this research was the deployment and experimental testing of an autonomous terrestrial robot (Boston Dynamics Spot) for radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based probabilistic localization of construction inventory within a mockup ...Practical ApplicationsThe paper presents a prototype system and its experimental testing in a laboratory setting. The study attempts to use construction robotics to overcome the current challenges faced by worker shortages and declining productivity in ...
