Radio Frequecy Identification (RFID), una tecnologia d'identificació automàtica, i la robòtica mòbil es combinen per dissenyar un robot per a inventaris. La navegació del robot està comandada per un algoritme que escolta el progrés de les noves identificacions. L'algoritme és essencial per tal que el robot obtingui una exactitud superior al 99% i per tal que la duració de l'inventari sigui òptima. S'implementen una interfície d'interacció i el conjunt de procediments necessaris per a operar amb el robot. La localització dels productes s'aborda de dues maneres. La primera consisteix en aplicar clústering a les cadenes d'identificacions dels productes i després assignar la localitzacio coneguda d'un producte de referència a tots els membres del clúster. El segon mètode de localització consisteix en aplicar Bayesian Recursive Estimation després d'haver computat un model d'identificació. Es proposa una metodolgia per a l'avaluació dels inventaris i el dataset generat per a l'anàlisi és compartit obertament. L'exactitud dels inventaris i la localització s'avaluen en escenaris reals. Es demostra que la solució proposada és de valor i està llesta per entrar al mercat.Programa de doctorat en Tecnologies de la Informació i les ComunicacionsUniversitat Pompeu FabraPous Andrés, RafaelUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.
