Abstract:
A self-localizing apparatus uses timestampable signals transmitted by transceivers that are a part of a distributed localization system to compute its position relative to the transceivers. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are arranged for highly accurate timestamping using digital and analog reception and transmission electronics as well as one or more highly accurate clocks, compensation units, localization units, position calibration units, scheduling units, or synchronization units. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are further arranged to allow full scalability in the number of self-localizing apparatuses and to allow robust self-localization with latencies and update rates useful for high performance applications such as autonomous mobile robot control.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for calibrating ultra wideband (UWB) transceivers in an UWB transceiver network comprising at least a first UWB transceiver, a second UWB transceiver, and a third UWB transceiver, each with at least partially unknown relative positions, the method comprising:\n wirelessly transmitting, using at least two of the first, second, and third UWB transceivers, at least two UWB signals; receiving one or more of the at least two UWB signals at at least two of the first, second, and third UWB transceivers, wherein there are at least three receptions of the at least two UWB signals; timestamping each of the at least three receptions to generate at least three reception timestamps; receiving the at least three reception timestamps at a position calibration unit; and computing, using the position calibration unit, relative positions of the first, second, and third UWB transceivers based on the at least three reception timestamps.
