Datasets

Indoor UAV fly test with VICON ground truth

Link to rosbag. Provides IMU, UWB, VICON measurements

  • /ref_generation/current_reference: reference sent to UAV. ~50Hz.
  • /time_domain/full_range_info: UWB raw measurements. ~80Hz.
  • /mavros/imu/rpy_acc_short: IMU raw measurements, provides roll, pitch, yaw & acceleration. ~50Hz.
  • /mavros/vicon/position: VICON ground truth, precision of 0.1cm, ~20Hz.

UWB anchor positions are acquired by Least Square Optimization over the measurements between each pair of UWB anchors, in NWU coordinate.

Introduction

A ROS based library to perform localization for robot swarms using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Inertial Measurement Unit (UWB).

The algorithm has been deployed to a multiple drone light show performace in Changi Exhibition Center of Singapore, during the opening ceremony of Unmanned System Asia 2017, Rotorcraft Asia 2017. Video link can be found here.

Features:

  • EKF/UKF localization algorithms that integrate UWB and IMU. Up to 90Hz with the accuracy of 5cm.
  • C++/ROS interface for TimeDomain UWB sensors
  • Least square optimization to calibrate the positions of UWB anchors

Usage

time_domain

C++/ROS based driver for TimeDomain UWB sensors.

slam_pp

Localization algorithms to perform real-time UWB and IMU fusion.

uwb_calibration

Least square optimization to determine the 3D position of the anchors. Depends on the Ceres Solver.
