The Technology
A self-localization system for multi rotor drones . Localization is based on analysis of acoustic signature of returned acoustic signals as a result resulting from reflections from nearby objects. The transmitted acoustic signal is derived from rotor rotation.
Advantages
- Localization in areas with poor GPS reception
- Indoor navigation
- Reduced cost and energy consumption vs other solutions
Applications and Opportunities
- Indoor drone navigation
- Obstacle avoidance
