User Manual
Stationary beacons:
– Mounted on walls or ceilings
– Users have to measure distances between
stationary DSP beacons manually
– Communicate with router wirelessly in ISM
band
Distance between
beacons-neighbors is
up to 30 meters.
Router/modem:
– Central controller of the system
– Calculates position of mobile beacon up to 45 Hz
– Communicates via USB/virtual UART with Dashboard or
robot
Mobile beacon:
– Installed on robot and interacts with it via UART
or SPI or I2C or USB
– Receives location update from router up to 45
times per second
– May contain IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope +
compass module)
DSP Beacon
N
Non-Inverse Architecture (NIA)
Indoor Navigation System
consists of:
– 2 or more DSP beacons
– 1 or more mobile beacons
– 1 central router
DSP Beacon 1
DSP Beacon 3
DSP Beacon 2
Submaps:
– Advanced feature that allows building independent
maps/clusters of beacons in separate rooms and
thus covering large buildings (with area of
thousands of m2) similar to cellular network
coverage
Key requirement for the system to work well:
unobstructed sight by a mobile beacon of 2 or
more stationary beacons simultaneously (like in
GPS)
