Abstract:
    This robotic arm fuses data from a camera and antenna to locate and retrieve items, even if they are buried under a pile.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    In the area of e-commerce and ware house logistics there is inefficiency in picking and leading to packing mistakes, which badly effects customer experience. Labour cost can be decreased with the most effecient usage of RFID tagged items.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   In homes and industries RFusion has many applications. In manufacturing, RFID tagged items can enhance coordination between many robots. Additionally, for warehouse logistics, system enables robot manipulation when items are hidden. These are just some of many areas RFusion can make an impact.
How will the solution works
    RFusion begins searching for an object using its antenna, which bounces signals off the RFID tag (like sunlight being reflected off a mirror) to identify a spherical area in which the tag is located. It combines that sphere with the camera input, which narrows down the object’s location. Reinforcement learning was used to train a neural network that can optimize the robot’s trajectory to the object. In reinforcement learning, the algorithm is trained through trial and error with a reward system.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    In e-commerce, companies are tyring their best to make products affordable and generate maximum profits from them. R-Fusion can not only make them more effecient but can also reduce their labour cost and can make more productive usage of things.
