Develop a prototype of a short-range RF-based localisation system for mobile robots and objects. The system shall allow localisation and motion capture, with centimetre precision, of robots/objects in a cubic volume of about 20m of edge. The use of such system will not only allow continuous localisation of space objects in difficult lighting conditions (where computer based methods are unreliable), but also may have use in finding objects scattered (lost) in a volume in civil applications (e.g keyfinder). Procurement Policy: C(1) = Activity restricted to non-prime contractors (incl. SMEs). For additional information please go to EMITS news “Industrial Policy measures for non-primes, SMEs and R&D entities in ESA programmes”.
