==SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UWB BEACON POLE LOCATIONS FOR EXTENDED SERVICE AREAS OF A ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149001 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UWB BEACON POLE LOCATIONS FOR EXTENDED SERVICE AREAS OF A ROBOT

==Simplified Explanation==

The method described in the abstract involves using multiple anchors in a service area to track the location of a robot using ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging technology. The anchors include an initiator and multiple responders, with pair-wise range measurements used to estimate the 3D coordinates of each anchor.

* Initiator and multiple responders in a service area are used to track a robot.
* Ranging information and a command to start UWB ranging are sent via a wireless side-link.
* Pair-wise range measurements are received from the initiator representing UWB range measurements between the initiator and the responders.
* Initial location values are generated based on the pair-wise range measurements and geometric constraints.
* 3D coordinates of the initiator and responders are estimated using the initial location values.

== Potential Applications ==
* Indoor navigation systems for robots
* Asset tracking in warehouses
* Monitoring systems for industrial equipment

== Problems Solved ==
* Precise location tracking in indoor environments
* Efficient communication between anchors and a robot
* Real-time monitoring and control of robotic systems

== Benefits ==
* Improved accuracy in tracking the location of a robot
* Enhanced efficiency in navigating through complex indoor spaces
* Increased safety and productivity in industrial settings


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method includes identifying a first anchor of a plurality of anchors as an initiator and identifying multiple second anchors of the plurality of anchors as multiple responders, the plurality of anchors located in a service area to be traversed by a robot. The method also includes sending, to the initiator and the responders via a wireless side-link, ranging information and a command to start ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging. The method also includes receiving, from the initiator via the wireless side-link, pair-wise range measurements representing UWB range measurements between the initiator and the responders. The method also includes generating initial location values for the initiator and the responders based on the pair-wise range measurements and one or more geometric constraints imposed on the initiator and the responders. The method also includes estimating 3D coordinates of the initiator and the responders using the initial location values.
