摘要： A self-localizing apparatus uses timestampable signals transmitted by transceivers that are a part of a distributed localization system to compute its position relative to the transceivers. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are arranged for highly accurate timestamping using digital and analog reception and transmission electronics as well as one or more highly accurate clocks, compensation units, localization units, position calibration units, scheduling units, or synchronization units. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are further arranged to allow full scalability in the number of self-localizing apparatuses and to allow robust self-localization with latencies and update rates useful for high performance applications such as autonomous mobile robot control.

摘要： Localization systems and methods for transmitting timestampable localization signals from anchors according to one or more transmission schedules. The transmission schedules may be generated and updated to achieve desired positioning performance. For example, one or more anchors may transmit localization signals at a different rate than other anchors, the anchor transmission order can be changed, and the signals can partially overlap. In addition, different transmission parameters may be used to transmit two localization signals at the same time without interference. A self-localizing apparatus is able to receive the localization signals and determine its position. The self-localizing apparatus may have a configurable receiver that can select to receive one of multiple available localization signals. The self-localizing apparatuses may have a pair of receivers able to receive two localization signals at the same time. A bridge anchor may be provided to enable a self-localizing apparatus to seamlessly transition between two localization systems.

摘要： A transceiver network comprises first, second, and third transceivers that are configured to transmit signals that are spread over a bandwidth that exceeds the lesser of 125 MHz and 5% of an arithmetic center frequency of the signals. An additional transceiver with at least a partially unknown relative position can be added to the transceiver network. The additional transceiver receives the signals from the first, second, and third transceivers and timestamps the receptions. A position calibration unit is configured to compute the position of the additional transceiver relative to the first, second, and third transceivers based on the reception timestamps and known relative locations of the first, second, and third transceivers. The additional transceiver can be configured to transmit (e.g., in a transmission time slot) an additional signal as part of the transceiver network.

摘要： A flying machine storage container is provided that comprises multiple charging stations and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is configured to secure flying machines in the charging stations and securely close charging circuits between the storage container and the flying machines. A system for launching flying machines is also provided. The system comprises two regions and a transition region between the two regions. The two regions each constrain the positioning of a flying machine and the transition region enables a flying machine to move from the first region to the second region to reach an exit. A flying machine having sufficient performance capabilities will be able to successfully launch. Centralized and decentralized communication architectures are also provided for communicating data between a central control system, multiple storage containers, and multiple stored flying machines stored at each of the storage containers.

摘要： The invention relates to a method and device for estimating angle information (50) of a received ultra-wideband wireless signal. Upon reception of a wireless signal emitted from a transmitting device (20) with known sounding sequence, the receiving device (10) estimates the channel impulse response (CIR), selects a portion of the channel impulse response (CIR), and estimates angle information (50) given the angle-dependent antenna transfer functions of either the transmitting device (20), the receiving device (10), or both. For this, the selected portion of the channel impulse response of the signal is fed into a neural network (73) which outputs an angle information probability distribution for the ultra-wideband wireless signal (50).
