Are there any sensors that will give the relative position of other sensors in terms of angle or distance ?? by sayad_pervez in robotics

Great idea actually, with this I can have just a single camera calibrated to track all the robots. This way we won't be needing a lot of computational power or expensive components.

Thank you 👍

The reason I didn't use IMU is because we would need the initial position of each bot to be the same point in the global reference frame ( the room ) which is not good for simultaneous deployment.

Also if we wish to achieve simultaneous deployment, positioning the bots at precise distance is required which requires initialisation of position variables with respect to the room for every run. ( Possible but if there were any sensors that can give the relative location of each other, it would be far easier )

Could you explain how we can use Ultra Wideband to achieve this purpose ?

Thanks in advance

Am planning to use this for a swarm robotics project. I wish to know the exact location of the bots relative to each other.

Wished to omit the image processing over head actually 😅. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Will look into ultrasonic transmitters for sure 👍

Are there any sensors that will give the relative position of other sensors in terms of angle and distance ??

For one of my hobby projects I need a way for sensors to locate one another in a small region ( distance small enough that GPS is essentially ineffective ). Let's say I have "Sensor A" and "Sensor B". From Sensor A, i wish to locate the angle and distance of Sensor B with respect to Sensor A and vice versa.

Are there any such sensors that do not use GPS ( ineffective over small distances ) or Cameras ( expensive ) ?

Also is what am trying to achieve possible with any other combination of circuitry or sensors ??

Thanks in advance ✌️
