Product Details
Features
- Marvelmind Starter Set Super-MP-3D (915/868MHz, US/EU)
- Offers a multi-purpose (MP) set based on Super-Beacons
- Designed for precise indoor positioning and navigation
- Contains a mobile beacon with IMU
- Provides up to ±2cm precision
- Used for autonomous navigation of mobile robots
- Note: You are responsible for determining if this frequency is allowed in your country
It can be used for autonomous navigation of mobile robots, vehicles, and drones; for industrial applications, for example, forklifts or people tracking in a warehouse for safety and productivity. The set is particularly good for: production automation, warehouse automation, safety, and productivity for people and vehicle tracking; building geo-fencing zone, and tracking inside them.
The particular focus of the set is on the accuracy of positioning. The set can provide up to ±2 cm precision even before additional sensor fusion or filtering. That accuracy is about 10 times better than what ultra-wideband (UWB) provides and about 100 times better than it can provide BLE (iBeacon) based systems.
Marvelmind Indoor Navigation System is an off-the-shelf indoor navigation system designed to provide precise (±2 cm) location data to autonomous robots, vehicles (AGV), and copters.
It can also be used to track other objects with a mobile beacon installed on them, for example, forklifts in warehouses or virtual reality (VR) helmets or helmets for construction workers or miners, etc.
Specifications
Distance between beacons
- Reach up to 50 meters in lab conditions
- Recommended distance is 30 meters
Coverage area
- Reach up to 1000 m2 with the Starter Set configurations
- Coverage for larger territories is similar to cellular networks
Location precision
- Absolute: 1-3% of the distance to the beacons
- Differential precision: ±2 cm
Location update rate
- 0.05-25 Hz
- Can be set manually
- Depends on the distance between the mobile and stationary beacons
- Depends on the number of mobile beacons
- Depends on the radio interface profile (500 kbps vs. 38 kbps)
- Slightly depends on the number of stationary beacons - different than for mobile beacons
Power supply
Internal:
- LiPo battery 1000 mAh
- Battery lifetime depends on many parameters. Mostly:
- Mode - transmitting or receiving
- Location update rate - faster update rate - nearly, proportionally shorter battery life-time)
- Radio profile - 500 kbps better than 38 kbps, because shorter
- Submap size or limitation of distance - shorter distance => longer battery life-time
External:
- micro USB - recommended for permanent use
Weight
- 59 g (including battery 1000 mAh and housing and antenna 50 mm)
- 27 g (bare board w/o battery)
- Product Code: 4680038530951
