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
