In this paper, a novel mobile robot system for searching books automatically in libraries is designed based on the radio frequency identification (RFID) and singlechip programming techniques. Recently, the barcode identification is frequently used in libraries. However, because of its unique advantages of RFID technology and its application in the intelligent robots will be able to achieve high-efficient automatic search of books. RFID has the advantages of large information storage and long identification distance etc., thus application in library management information system has great development potential. By using RFID long-distance identification ability combined with the close accurate positioning technologies, a mobile robot for automatic search of books in libraries is designed, which can effectively improve the book search efficiency, saves the massive cost and improve the library informatization level.

This paper proposes an obstacle avoidance scheme of a novel mobile robot system for automatic search of books in libraries based on the radio frequency identification (RFID). Nowadays, most of the libraries utilize the barcode identification technique, since it is of low cost. However, our experiments show that using RFID adequately can save more labor and improve the library management efficiency, since RFID has many advantages, i.e., large information storage and long identification distance, etc., whose application in library management information system has great development potential. Based the advantages of its long-distance identification ability combined with the close accurate positioning technologies, an intelligent mobile robot system for automatic search of books anywhere in libraries is design in our project, which can effectively improve the book search efficiency, saves the massive cost and improve the library informatization level. According to this mobile robot, we give a fuzzy multisensor fusion technique based obstacle avoidance method, which can make the intelligent robot searching the desired books automatically in libraries. Both the simulation and the actual experiments validate the obstacle-avoiding algorithm.

The autonomous stratagem combines the concepts of traveling salesman problems (TSP), radio frequency identification (RFID), E-compass wireless networks sensors and the evolutional particle swarm optimization (PSO) to identify the optimal routing paths in the dynamic indoor space. A desired the setting lot as soon as possible. Four active RFID tags amounted in the rectangle type environments and indication of E-compass are proposed to identify the robot position. The routing concept of the TSP is developed by the evolutionary PSO learning scheme to approach the valid routing-path of the mobile robot. The developed mobile robot system, with the proper number of fuzzy membership functions, simultaneously achieves the multiple objectives of avoiding obstacles by the selected shortest routing path.

We are developing a self-contained and autonomous mobile robot that can navigate around our university campus. In this paper, we discuss issues important to a robot which has sufficient intelligence and toughness to withstand the rigors of outdoor navigation. Then, we report on our mobile robot ""YAMABICO NAVI,"" which has many integrated functions such as locomotion, position estimation and sensors that detect landmarks and obstacles as an example. Furthermore, we describe an execution monitoring tool that is used to observe the internal state of the robot outdoor experiments.

Background: In order to study the interference of wired transmission mode on robot motion, a mobile robot attitude calculation and debugging system based on radio frequency (RF) technology is proposed. Methods: Microcontroller STM32 has been used as the control core for the attitude information of the robot by using MEMS gyroscope and accelerometer. The optimal attitude Angle of the robot is calculated through nRF24L01 which is the core of the wireless communication module, attitude acquisition module and wireless data communication upper computer application platform. Results: The results shows that the positioning accuracy is better than±5mm. Conclusion: The experimental results show that the proposed attitude solving and debugging system of mobile robot based on RF technology has better reliability and real-time performance. The propped model is convenient for debugging of mobile robot system and has certain engineering application value.

AbstractOrganic field-effect transistors (FETs) are currently the focus of significant academic research and industrial development interest, as they potentially offer unique advantages over their inorganic counterparts in terms of cost reductions, compatibility with low-temperature and printing-based manufacturing, and potentially even performance. The first generation of products incorporating organic FETs is presently being introduced to the market. This article provides an overview of strategies for achieving high field-effect mobilities in solution-processed organic semiconductor films. We provide an assessment of materials challenges to meet performance and reliability requirements for a range of display and circuit applications and present an overview of state-of-the-art application demonstrations in active-matrix addressing of flexible eletrophoretic, organic light-emitting diode, and liquid-crystal displays, as well as radio-frequency identification tagging. We discuss how the unique functional properties of organic semiconductors, which allow comparatively easy integration of information processing, information storage, light emission, and light detection functions, might enable multifunctional applications that are not easy to create with other material systems.
