Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating interactions between a robotic arm and a movable platform using radio frequency (RF) co-localization are provided. The systems include target devices; an interrogator system comprising RF antennas, each of the RF antennas configured to transmit RF signals to the target devices and/or receive RF signals from the target devices; and a controller. The controller is configured to control at least one of the RF antennas to transmit one or more first RF signals to a target device coupled to a movable platform; control at least some of the RF antennas to receive second RF signals from at least the target device; determine a position of the movable platform using the received second RF signals; and determine, using the position of the movable platform, a target position to which to move an end effector of a robotic arm in order to perform a task.

Abstract: A system for tracking position of objects in an industrial environment includes an interrogator, a transponder, and a processor. The interrogator transmits a signal and provides a first reference signal corresponding to the transmitted signal. The transponder provides a response signal. The interrogator receives the response signal and provides a second reference signal corresponding to the response signal. The processor determines a location of either the interrogator or the transponder, relative to the other, based on the two reference signals.

Abstract: A system for tracking an object includes a plurality of fixed devices and at least one tracked device. The fixed devices are positioned at fixed locations and the tracked device is affixable to the object. The fixed devices and the tracked device are configured to transmit and/or receive signals used for time of flight measurements. A processor is configured to determine one or more positions of the tracked device relative to one or more of the fixed devices based upon one or more time of flight measurements between the tracked device and one or more of the fixed devices.
