Vorwerk is presenting the first carpet containing integrated RFID technology for the intelligent navigation of service robots.An outstanding lead in technology resulting from a surface coverage and control accuracy unattained until now.We can wear them, sit on them or walk across them.Starting now, however, completely new areas of application are also conceivable, because textiles from everyday use have been successfully linked to integrated microelectronics, thus imparting them with a degree of functionality which had been unknown to date.Externally the "Smart Carpet" does not differ from a normal carpet.There those tags are enscribed and read out electromagnetically.In turn, this serves to transfer information and control whatever crosses them.PET which has been equipped with metal conductors, an antenna coil and a tiny silicon microchip.These flat units are integrated into the carpet in such a way that they form a network across the entire carpet surface.The RFID tags do not impair walking comfort in the least thereby.MHz) across a distance of 10 centimetres.The RFID tags themselves are completely passive, meaning that no electrical voltage whatsoever is laid down on the carpet.The individual "signal transmitters" are linked by the robot into a virtual map by reading out the individual RFID tags in the carpet.The Smart Carpet System thus enables controlled navigation, even in the case of obstacles.Fixed obstacles are noted on the "map" and subsequently circumvented.Temporary obstacles are detected, triggering a spontaneous change in navigation.If the obstacle no longer exists later on, that area of the floor is targeted once again.And both time and energy are being saved, too.Yet the Smart Carpet System can do even more.For instance, using this system it is possible for a robot to go to different areas on a scheduled basis, e.The technology within the Smart Carpet functions safely and without laying down electrical voltage on the carpet surface.The practical Smart Carpet utilising wireless data transfer between the robot and RFID tag offers substantial economic advantages, too.Vorwerk has already taken the first step towards this with the development of the "Smart Carpet".The technology is scheduled to be ready for the market in 2006.Ingo Spring

As radio grew in populartiy in the 1920s, grammophone sales dropped precipitously.At first, sales of what was at the time a completely unknown appliance in Germany were very poor, despite the relatively modest price of 20 Reichsmarks.Already before the Second World War, in 1938, the first foreign sales organization was established: Vorwerk Folletto in Italy.The sales organization, which had held the company above water during the war years by selling various products, discontinued operations that year.After the war was over, production and sales were rebuilt, first in Germany, and then in Europe and overseas.By 1955, 2,000 Vorwerk sales representatives were once again underway.Further diversification
