ROS compatibility for accurate UWB positioning sensor [discussion]
Hello,
my name is Samuel and I am one of the creators of Pozyx, an indoor positioning system that I would like to make ROS compatible. Our system is currently running on kickstarter. We are using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio signals to accurately measure the distances to some anchors for positioning (the signals can pass through walls or objects). This allows us to accurately estimate the position indoor. We have recently achieved our funding goal and as a stretch goal we are going to make sure the system is ROS compatible. By means of this post I would like to know what kind of functionalities should be supported by the Pozyx platform to make it compatible for ROS?
Some more information about the platform: The tag is equipped with an UWB transceiver, a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer and pressure sensor. The onboard microcontroller (STM32F4) is in charge of the ranging protocol, messaging protocol, the tracking algorithm, sensor fusion, anchor calibration and all the other stuff to make the board act like a sensor: communication, configuration, etc.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi Samuel, I am very interested in your Pozyx project, can I have your Email for more details, my email is "nozeroxue@gmail.com" .
Hi @Samuel, can you please share your driver? I'm also using an UWB sensor but I don't know how to use the data that I received in localization package
