RFID tracking and gumstix: msg#00129

Subject: RFID tracking and gumstix

Hello,

I emailed gumstix this, and someone replied, telling me that I should ask around this list.

We're looking for a tracking system that we can embed in rooms, and on the grounds (200 acres) to track our apes (both primate and humans) as they move about the facility. When I heard about the size of your devices, it occurred to me that it would be very cool to have these embedded in the ground with some sort of RFID sensor, with an RFID chip inserted in the apes, or in a card of some sort for the humans.

We could then have other devices with gumstix that could also interact with our gumnet, robots such as cars, video camera devices that could stream to a server, and of course the keyboards that Kanzi and Panbanisha (two of our apes) use so well.
