A patent application by the inventors CHEN, Yami (BEIJING, CN); WANG, Hong- wei (BEIJING, CN); ZHE, Wenming (BEIJING, CN), filed on November 23, 2021, was made available online on February 8, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "At present, the inventory is mainly performed manually during item inventorying. A staff reads an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic tag provided on an item using a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and compares tag data with electronic tag information of inventory items to realize item inventorying." In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent application: "According to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for inventorying items performed by a robot control apparatus, comprising: transmitting a second signal with a first frequency through a first transmitting antenna in a case where a first signal with the first frequency transmitted by a main controller is received through a receiving antenna during driving a robot to move along a preset path, to cause each of a plurality of storage-bin electronic tags receiving the second signal to transmit a third signal with the first frequency; transmitting a fourth signal with a second frequency through a second transmitting antenna, to cause each of a plurality of item electronic tags receiving the fourth signal to transmit a fifth signal with the second frequency; taking one of a plurality of third signals, which has a maximum signal strength, as a target signal in a case where the plurality of the third signals are received through the receiving antenna; taking a storage-bin corresponding to a storage-bin electronic tag transmitting the target signal as a target storage-bin, and extracting item electronic tag information associated with the target storage-bin from an information base; acquiring a inventorying result of the target storage-bin according to a plurality of pieces of tag information and the item electronic tag information in a case where the plurality of pieces of tag information transmitted by an electronic tag receiver are received, wherein the electronic tag receiver acquires the tag information from the fifth signal; and transmitting the inventorying result of the target storage-bin to the main controller.
