Abstract :
This paper discusses the high-level design considerations and implementation challenges of an RFID-reader-equipped multi-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) system to aid inventory automation in a warehouse. A preliminary simulation, employing probabilistic-like algorithm for navigation decision, was also conducted to visualize the feasibility of the system.
