This paper presents our latest results of our prototype robots and drones, aiming continuous inventorying and accurate real-time 3D localization of RFID tagged items. We have designed and constructed two ground robots, capable of autonomous inventorying in unknown regions, exploiting state-of-the-art methods from the field of robotics and RF-localization. Furthermore, we present our prototype drone, also capable of 3D inventorying and localization. In addition, we demonstrate the performance of our prototype RFID repeater, which also boosts the read-range of traditional RFID technology. The results of measurements campaigns conducted in different environments for the above prototypes are presented herein.
