God's perspective! MIT R&D Warehouse Tracks Drones Your Express Will Be Faster
[NetEase Smart News, August 28] This miniature drone, which operates safely, can now be integrated with existing RFID devices.
Picture this: a tiny drone buzzing through a warehouse, automatically tracking and monitoring distant inventory, allowing staff to freely handle and move materials. This innovative system, developed by researchers at MIT, aims to prevent discrepancies in stock management. These aerial views assist employees in locating specific products more swiftly while enabling teams to navigate efficiently.
Perhaps most importantly, the report detailing this system highlights that these small drones are safe for indoor environments. They can read RFID tags from up to tens of meters away with an accuracy of 19 centimeters. However, since these micro-drones aren't robust enough to carry RFID readers with extensive transmission ranges, MIT researchers designed them to work alongside standard RFID readers. The drones simply relay information back to the main reader before returning to their starting point. This approach allows these small drone fleets to leverage existing RFID infrastructure without requiring additional hardware or software.
"From 2003 to 2011, the U.S. military misplaced $5.8 billion worth of supplies in its warehouses," noted Fadel Dib, an assistant professor of career development at Sony Corporation who co-developed this system as part of the MIT Media Lab team. In 2016, the National Retail Federation reported retail shrinkage averaging approximately $45.2 billion annually. By employing drones to locate items and equipment, this research offers a groundbreaking technological solution to address these challenges.
RFID isn't exactly a cutting-edge technology—it has been used for mundane tasks like tracking alcohol storage, monitoring aquatic wildlife, or updating patient records in hospitals. It's also widely adopted in warehouses, making the MIT-developed system, dubbed "RFly" in the research paper, potentially revolutionary for automated inventory tracking. With Amazon planning to deliver goods directly from warehouses using drones, this could be the start of a new era in logistics automation. (Source: Engadget and 网易智能工作室: Li Muhan)
