Abstract: A movable platform for taking inventory and/or performing other actions on objects, the movable platform comprising a traction system for allowing the movable platform to circulate through an area, a sensor system for identifying objects in an area based on a characteristic, and for creating information indicative of the identified objects and the position of the identified objects relative to the movable platform and in absolute space coordinates, and a control system, wherein the control system is adapted to receive the information created by the sensor system and to determine a direction of movement or a partial path or a movement target for the movable platform based on the received information and without using a previously created map of the area.

Abstract: Moveable platform for taking inventory of objects comprising RFID tags in a storage space, wherein the platform comprises a navigation system, adapted to automatically navigate the platform, and a sensor system, adapted to identify objects to which RFID tags are attached in the storage space, wherein the sensor system comprises at least one antenna, wherein the sensor system is adapted to identify objects in the storage space while the platform moves through the storage space and wherein a control unit is provided that is adapted to control the navigation system in response to information obtained by the sensor system.
