Unlike previous robotic RFID localization systems, which focused primarily on localization accuracy, Ceilbot learns to jointly optimize both the accuracy and speed of localization. To achieve this, we introduce a reinforcement-learning-based (RL) trajectory optimization network that determines the most effective trajectory for a robot-mounted reader antenna. Our algorithm integrates aperture length, estimated tag locations, and location confidence (using a wideband synthetic-aperture-radar formulation) into the state observations to learn the optimal trajectory. We developed an end-to-end prototype of Ceilbot and evaluated it in a practical stockroom-like environment. The prototype includes a standard RFID reader with our custom hardware extension (to enable wideband localization of off-the-shelf RFIDs) and a ceiling robot that moves on a 2D track. In our evaluation, Ceilbot demonstrated a median 3D localization accuracy of 0.17 meters and located over 50 RFID tags <inline-formula> <tex-math>$12.5times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> faster than the state-of-the-art baseline.

The RFID humidity sensor tag comprises of RF resonators for identification and separate resonators along with smart material for humidity sensing. The humidity sensor tags are effective permittivity-based sensors, where the smart material’s effective permittivity changes with humidity. The change is recorded with different coding methods, whereas the sensitivity depends on both tag configuration and sensing material. Therefore, this paper emphasizes state-of-the-art tag configurations, approaches to designing RFID humidity sensor tags, and the properties of the humidity-sensitive material. Most of the RFID humidity sensors are designed based on the frequency coding method where coding capacity depends on the number of resonators, hence the overall size of the tag. Therefore, a variety of resonators like patch- and slot-types, along with their orientation with respect to linearly polarized reader antenna are discussed. The advantages of slot-type tags coated with humidity-sensitive material are highlighted in terms of dual-side readability, polarization-independent nature, higher data coding capacity, and better sensitivity. RFID humidity sensors will be beneficial for future Internet-of-things (IoT) applications.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"9 ","pages":"200-214"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current Class 1 Gen 2 (C1G2) RFID systems are limited in read rate by the Framed Slotted Aloha (FSA) scheduling algorithm and physical layer modulation parameters. We propose a multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) RFID system compatible with C1G2 which enables simultaneous communication with multiple tags, achieving greater read rates. Multiple monostatic reader antennas are exploited to recover collided tag data and perform channel estimation. These channel estimates are then used to precode the reader’s ACK signals across multiple transmit antennas into spatial channels such that the tags will receive separated acknowledgements. To evaluate potential performance gains, we calculate theoretical throughput improvements and empirically measure the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) required for commercial passive tags to respond to collided acknowledgements. Furthermore, we perform simulations to determine the effect of increasing number of tag responses on channel estimation accuracy, and hence the received SIR at tags. An experiment is carried out using two monostatic transceivers with two emulated tags, showing successful channel recoveries and uncollided reader acknowledgments commands at the tags, and hence compatability with C1G2 protocol provided a reader can be developed meeting the timing requirements.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"9 ","pages":"215-226"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the two patches are coupled capacitively for generating additional tuning reactance.

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) prevent physical cloning, but they are sensitive to environmental variations and vulnerable to Machine Learning (ML) attacks. In this paper, a security system is proposed that aims to generate keys with high reliability and resistance to ML attacks. The entire system can be integrated into RFID tags. For reliable key generation, the proposed approach utilizes a two-step structure comprising a Coarse PUF and a Fine PUF, along with modified Ring Oscillator (RO) PUFs featuring varying ring counts. This design enhances resistance to machine learning (ML) attacks through challenge obfuscation. To further improve security against ML attacks, real-time power consumption is monitored using a novel analog circuit, and a hardware algorithm is developed based on the monitored power data. The proposed PUF (128-bit key generator) is implemented on an FPGA from the Xilinx family, specifically the Zynq-7 model. The robustness of the proposed PUF is evaluated through voltage and temperature variation tests.

The obtained results confirm that the proposed system offers a significantly more secure and robust solution compared to other competitors.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"9 ","pages":"161-169"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reader can detect variations in the phase of the reflection coefficient due to the motion of the encoder. To validate the encoder system, two encoders are implemented in a low-loss rigid substrate, and four are fabricated in flexible substrates, such as paper and plastic (polyethylene terephthalate -PET). One of the rigid encoders is incremental (with a periodic chain of apertures) and the other one is quasi-absolute (with two aperture sizes), useful for both motion sensing and near-field chipless-RFID.
