Auto-ID Labs
Auto-ID Labs are places where really smart people try to create technologies that can automatically identify different objects around us. Imagine you are playing 'I spy' game with your friends and there are objects like toys, books, or a pillow in front of you. The Auto-ID Labs are trying to create technology where machines can do this game like your friends do!
This technology is called Radio-frequency identification (RFID) which uses radio signals to talk to little chips called "tags" that you might see in a store or on a package. These tags can hold important information like where something was made, when it was made and how much it costs.
The scientists who work at these labs are working really hard to make sure that in the future, products we use and see around us will have these small tags that will help us keep track of things. For example, if you lose your toy, the tag on the toy will tell you where it is. Or if you're in the supermarket, these tags can help you find the products that you need easily and quickly. The Auto-ID labs are making the world smarter and making our lives easier!
