Marvelmind Starter Set Super-MP-3D

Description:

Features

• Marvelmind Starter Set Super-MP-3D (915/868MHz, US/EU)
• Offers a multi-purpose (MP) set based on Super-Beacons
• Designed for precise indoor positioning and navigation
• Contains a mobile beacon with IMU
• Provides up to 2cm precision
• Used for autonomous navigation of mobile robots
• Note: You are responsible for determining if this frequency is allowed in your country

It can be used for autonomous navigation of mobile robots, vehicles, and drones; for industrial applications, for example, forklifts or people tracking in a warehouse for safety and productivity. The set is particularly good for: production automation, warehouse automation, safety, and productivity for people and vehicle tracking; building geo-fencing zone, and tracking inside them.

The particular focus of the set is on the accuracy of positioning. The set can provide up to 2 cm precision even before additional sensor fusion or filtering. That accuracy is about 10 times better than what ultra-wideband (UWB) provides and about 100 times better than it can provide BLE (iBeacon) based systems.

Marvelmind Indoor Navigation System is an off-the-shelf indoor navigation system designed to provide precise (2 cm) location data to autonomous robots, vehicles (AGV), and copters.

It can also be used to track other objects with a mobile beacon installed on them, for example, forklifts in warehouses or virtual reality (VR) helmets or helmets for construction workers or miners, etc.

Specifications

Distance between beacons

• Reach up to 50 meters in lab conditions
• Recommended distance is 30 meters

Coverage area

• Reach up to 1000 m2 with the Starter Set configurations
• Coverage for larger territories is similar to cellular networks

Location precision

• Absolute: 1-3% of the distance to the beacons
• Differential precision: 2 cm

Location update rate

• 0.05-25 Hz
• Can be set manually
• Depends on the distance between the mobile and stationary beacons
• Depends on the number of mobile beacons
• Depends on the radio interface profile (500 kbps vs. 38 kbps)
• Slightly depends on the number of stationary beacons - different than for mobile beacons

Power supply

Internal:

• LiPo battery 1000 mAh
• Battery lifetime depends on many parameters. Mostly:
• Mode - transmitting or receiving
• Location update rate - faster update rate - nearly, proportionally shorter battery life-time)
• Radio profile - 500 kbps better than 38 kbps, because shorter
• Submap size or limitation of distance - shorter distance => longer battery life-time

External:

• micro USB - recommended for permanent use

Weight

• 59 g (including battery 1000 mAh and housing and antenna 50 mm)
• 27 g (bare board w/o battery)
• Product Code: 4680038530951

What's Included

• 1x Marvelmind Starter Set Super-MP-3D (915/868 MHz, US/EU)
• 4x Stationary Super-Beacons (any of: 19, 22, 25, 28, 34, 37 or 45 kHz)
• 1x Mobile Super-Beacon (identical to the stationary Super-Beacons, but on 31 kHz)
• 1x Modem HW v5.1 supporting up to 250 beacons
