RTLS SOLUTIONS

Solutions for researchers and universities

We love universities. Yes, we developed our system for industrial applications. However, very often, our typical user is “a post-doc from Stanford.”

University users demand something special and unique, and that is what we specialize in, because professors, post-docs, PhDs, and regular students are deeply educated to enjoy the system in full.

Why Marvelmind solutions are particularly good for research

01Highest-accuracy indoor positioning system

Our system is ~10× more accurate than UWB and ~100× more accurate than BLE.

02Easy customization for your specific needs

Own hardware, protocols and software, we can customize nearly anything. Most optional software features began as one lab's custom request.

03Open external interfaces and protocol

Download the PDF or browse interfaces in HTML and start right away.

04Open API

Download our open API and control the system from your own GUI.

05No data is leaking out

No cloud required. Everything is calculated on the premise and under your control.

06Many videos and examples

From unpacking to robot reviews and technology explanations.

07Transparent pricing and quick delivery

Public prices for products, software and services. Easy to pay, PayPal, cards, invoices; post-payment for state universities. Shipping same or next business day from stock.

University cases and examples

Universities, students, PhDs, post-docs, professors and researchers used our system in cases we couldn't envisage. That makes it so much fun to learn and discover.

Measured by independent labs

9 VERBATIM QUOTES
INESC TEC (PORTO) · 2024

“In terms of results, the Marvelmind system, which uses an ultrasound method, was the best solution.”

POLITEKNIK NEGERI BATAM · 2023

“The test results show that the autonomous navigation system using indoor GPS on the turtlebot3 burger robot has an accuracy of ± 1 cm.”

NOVA UNIVERSITY LISBON · 2021

“the mean deviation of x, y and z axis were, respectively, 0.14cm, 0.10cm and 0.06cm”

KU LEUVEN · 2019

“Therefore, it appears that the advertised accuracy of 2 cm is consistent with the average observed accuracy.”

ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY · 2026

“Indeed, commercial solutions like Marvelmind’s indoor “GPS” use ultrasound beacons to attain positioning accuracy ten times better than UWB radio in ideal conditions.”

MIREA - RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY · 2025

“That is why we used the MarvelMind navigation system in the second indoor test. Its error is at least 10 times smaller than the one provided by the RadioLink SE100 GNSS receiver.”

UNIVERSITY OF ALCALÁ · 2022

“Marvelmind Robotics has been used to obtain the ground-truth (real positions) of the receiver and the transmitting beacons”

FEDERAL SCIENTIFIC AGROENGINEERING CENTER VIM · 2020

“The author substantiated the choice of the most suitable and affordable Marvelmind positioning system and experimentally confirmed the positioning accuracy declared by the manufacturer.”

NASA MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER · 2024

“Stationary beacons are used to establish a perimeter, and mobile beacons within this perimeter can report their location within +/- 2 centimeters.”
