Drone indoor navigation

Drone navigation in  indoor environments

The main goal of this project is to design and implement devices allowing to localize and navigate an independent robot platforms and drones indoors. In the currently developed project the platforms are navigated based on localization results obtained from an UWB localization system.

The project consists in:

  • designing and implementing a translator device allowing to translate positioning results from UWB system coordinates to GPS coordinates accepted by platform controller,
  • implementation of flight route controller software (PC + microcontroller device),
  • design and implementation of devices allowing for drone-PC wireless communication,
  • implementation of an application visualizing localization results in real time.
