TurboTrack: MIT’s RFID-based Answer to Machine Vision Robotics
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/turbotrack-mits-rfid-based-answer-to-machine-vision-robotics
While machine vision is often the ‘done deal’ for informing robotic motor functions, sometimes it’s the simpler solutions that prove the most robust. Here’s a look at TurboTrack: Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s radiofrequency identification tag-based technology, whose signal-reading approach has proved foolproof in many aspects where machine vision robot guidance falls down.
