Pickup Robot
USATODAY.com - RFID: Robot for infinite decluttering?
“RFID will be worth it so we can have a pickup robot. … Although the pickup ‘bot is probably more than a decade away, here’s how it might work: Every item in your house – socks, eyeglasses, Cheez-It boxes, hockey sticks – will eventually come from the store with a tiny, almost invisible RFID tag attached. The tag will contain some information about its item, like “I am a box of SpongeBob Cheez-Its that expired last February.” The tag will be able to transmit that data wirelessly over a short distance.”
