        abstract = {The proposed project, “Intelligent RFID-Based Autonomous Indoor Logistics Robot Using Decision Tree Path Navigation System” is designed to provide an efficient, low-cost, and intelligent solution for indoor material transportation in environments such as restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Traditional manual logistics systems often suffer from delays, human errors, fatigue, and reduced operational efficiency, especially in high-demand conditions. To overcome these limitations, the proposed system utilizes an autonomous mobile robot capable of navigating indoor environments without human intervention. Unlike conventional robotic systems that depend on expensive technologies such as LiDAR, camera vision, and SLAM algorithms, this project adopts RFID-based localization to reduce system complexity and cost. RFID tags are placed at predefined checkpoints, allowing the robot to identify its position and follow a designated route accurately. A Decision Tree algorithm is implemented for intelligent path selection and navigation control, enabling the robot to make efficient movement decisions at junctions and checkpoints. The robot is controlled using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with RFID readers, motor drivers, and obstacle detection sensors, ensuring reliable navigation, reduced power consumption, improved efficiency, and cost-effective indoor logistics automation.},
