Abstract

Parallel scan architecture and RFID-based Anti-Collision Enabled Robot Processor can significantly enhance safety and efficiency in the manufacturing industry by using RFID technology to prevent collisions and improve the navigation of robots within the workspace. One such application is in robot navigation, where it can play a crucial role in enabling collision avoidance in multi-robot environments. In our recent work, we have proposed and developed a novel processor that incorporates a smart algorithm designed specifically to address the issue of collisions among multiple robots operating in the same workspace. By leveraging Parallel scan architecture and RFID technology, we have successfully created a system that can efficiently avoid both self-collisions between robots and collisions with physical objects. The implementation of our processor was achieved using VHDL, a hardware description language. Through careful design and simulation, demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach. The successful synthesis of the proposed design has enabled to obtain the RTL schematic view of the processor, bringing one step closer to realizing a practical and effective Parallel scan architecture and RFID-based collision avoidance system for multi-robot environments. This work has the potential to significantly improve the safety and efficiency of robot operations in complex and dynamic settings. The Parallel scan architecture and RFID system can also provide valuable data for process analysis and optimization, contributing to continuous improvement in the manufacturing process.
