ⓘ Detailed Overview

Building an accurate map is the cornerstone of deploying an indoor positioning system for autonomous robots, drones, and warehouse automation. Marvelmind's ultrasonic RTLS technology requires a structured map-building process before mobile beacons can navigate and track locations indoors. This demo shows the complete workflow: first, ensure your modem is connected via USB with the Dashboard running. Then systematically double-click each beacon using its address—addresses can be verified beforehand through USB Dashboard connection. Within seconds, activated beacons measure mutual distances and create a distance table. The system uses this distance data to compute a spatial map reflecting the actual beacon layout. Once the calculated map accurately represents your physical environment, you freeze it to lock the configuration. The frozen map becomes the coordinate reference frame for all mobile beacons, enabling precise indoor location tracking without GPS. This process is essential for autonomous robot navigation, forklift tracking, drone flight, and any indoor positioning application requiring sub-meter accuracy in GPS-denied environments.
