The MK UWB Kit Robotics now supports Autonomous landing for drones using high precision UWB technology. As an innovative, market-first solution, our plug and play system allows you to leverage and evaluate how UWB technology from MobileKnowledge can enable autonomous landing use cases for drones, both indoor and outdoor.
Improving spatial awareness in robotics applications can be very challenging. The functionality of robots has evolved during recent years, and it has become much more complex than the first robots. New applications appear, and robots now travel and interact freely with people in many different ways. Drone deliveries have grown significantly, with over one million flights in 2023, and are expected to increase exponentially. These drones are revolutionizing urban logistics and improving access to essential supplies in remote areas.
Despite this progress, autonomous drone delivery faces key challenges. Regulatory frameworks must adapt globally, and the “last meter” of delivery remains complex. Delivery methodologies present drawbacks and limitations, including limited package security, delivery precision, potential damage, collision risks, and the cost of delivery infrastructure.
Our MK UWB Kit Robotics provides the perfect entry point to evaluate the use of UWB technology for high precision drone autonomous landing and delivery.
Enabling drones with UWB technology for high precision and positioning data:
- Will increase accuracy to a centimeter level on package delivery and landing
- Be able to precisely deliver or land the goods in case there is no line of sight against GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
- Be able to use your mobile device as landing beacon, eliminating the need for additional capex & opex related costs
Our solution supports:
- Flexible or fixed landing reference beacons to adapt to multiple use cases and customer needs
- Multiple landing stations and drones are supported
- Best in class positioning data, highly accurate and precise, even in indoor and challenging environments:
- Accuracy: ± 5cm, ± 1º offset
- Precision: ± 7cm; ± 4º standard deviation
- Unaffected by light, weather, or line-of-sight limits
- The possibility to use mobile phones as landing station, with no additional hardware required
- Moving landing station
