FAQ
Detailed Overview
Marvelmind's ultrasonic indoor positioning system delivers centimeter-level accuracy for drone tracking in environments where GPS and GLONASS signals are unavailable or unreliable. This video demonstrates precise ±2cm tracking of a drone conducting horizontal flight operations at two distinct altitude echelons without any satellite-based positioning. The system records and visualizes position data across three orthogonal planes—XY, XZ, and YZ views—providing comprehensive spatial awareness. The Dashboard's Player software processes both raw and post-processed location data in real-time, enabling operators to monitor drone positioning with exceptional precision. This technology addresses critical needs in warehouse automation, indoor drone navigation, and autonomous robot operations where GPS denial or signal degradation is common. The demo validates Marvelmind's RTLS (Real-Time Location System) capabilities for demanding applications requiring sub-centimeter positioning accuracy, multi-axis tracking, and reliable indoor navigation without dependency on external satellite systems.
