description This paper proposes a tag position perception method for scenarios such as package retrieval in unmanned warehouses and book management in libraries. This method can accurately predict the distribution of tag space positions in real–time during RFID robot inventory. Firstly, the signal strength (RSSI) and speed of identification (SoI) are used as features. The grey wolf optimization multi–layer perceptron neural network model (GWO–MLP) is employed to predict the distance of tag groups. Secondly, a tag orientation prediction algorithm is designed to estimate the orientation of the tag groups. Finally, the periodicity of the phase is determined by the characteristic of RSSI attenuation as the tag–to–antenna distance increases, solving the problem of position ambiguity caused by phase periodicity. The experiment has shown that this method achieves a high accuracy rate of 96.67% and 97% in predicting the distance and orientation of tag groups, respectively. The average error in distance perception for the single tag is less than 3 cm, enabling precise perception of RFID tag positions. This method facilitates more efficient operation management and accurate item traceability.
