The system further includes a second RF device includes a constellation of antennae including at least three receiving antennae, a second radio unit in communication with the constellation of antennae, and a processor configured to determine a three-dimensional position and three-axis angular orientation of the first RF device relative to the second RF device based on computing at least two of three angles in the second RF device coordinate frame (XY, XZ and YZ) computed from carrier phase difference (CPD) measurements taken between each pair of the at least three receiving antennae when receiving a single RF signal transmitted from the at least one antenna of the first RF device, and estimating a direction of a gravity vector generated by the IMU.

An apparatus including at least one emitter configured to emit energy; at least one receiver configured to receive the emitted energy, where the at least one emitter is mounted on at least one of: a robot arm, an end effector of the robot arm, a substrate on the robot arm, or a substrate process module, where the at least one receiver is mounted on at least one of: the robot arm, the end effector of the robot arm, the substrate on the robot arm, or the substrate process module.

An automatic vehicle positioning management system includes an on-vehicle apparatus and a portable device. The on-vehicle apparatus, installed on a vehicle, acquires a first location of the vehicle through wireless positioning. The first location is sent to the portable device which acquires a second location of the vehicle through GPS. When multiple vehicles form a fleet, each vehicle respectively sends its first and second locations to a server through its portable device. The second location of each vehicle is corrected by operations of point error analysis, image overlay and point error correction, so that the fleet can be managed more precisely.

A method for position determining includes: sending a first ranging request to a base station, wherein the first ranging request carries an identifier associated with a second UE, in which the first ranging request is at least associated with ranging between the base station and the second UE; and receiving first range information associated with the first range request from the base station.

A positioning system for position determination in a goods logistics facility and a method for operating same. The positioning system includes a plurality of permanently installed anchor nodes that represent reference points in a common coordinate system. The positioning system is configured to determine a distance from a first anchor node to a second anchor node.

A method of determining a new position for a node. The node having a distance measuring radio. A list of positions of a plurality of neighboring nodes is obtained. The geometric relationship of the positions in the list and the predicted position of node is analyzed. A subset of the nodes is selected from the list that is less than the total number of modes in the list. Electronic distance measurements from the node to each of the subset of nodes are performed. A new position of the node is determined utilizing the measured distances.

Provided are a method and device for positioning, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: receiving a positioning indication, herein the positioning indication indicates positioning of a first item, and the first item has a first electronic tag; obtaining RSSIs of a plurality of second electronic tags, herein the plurality of second electronic tags include the first electronic tag; determining, based on the RSSIs of the plurality of second electronic tags, at least one third electronic tag; and positioning, through the at least one third electronic tag, the first item.

A plurality of autonomous mobile robots includes a first mobile robot and a second mobile robot. The first mobile robot is provided with a transmitting optical sensor for outputting laser light, and a first module for transmitting and receiving an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) signal. The second mobile robot is provided with a receiving optical sensor for receiving the laser light and a plurality of second modules for transmitting and receiving the UWB signal. A control unit of the second mobile robot determines a relative position of the first mobile robot based on the received UWB signal and a determination of whether the laser light is received by the optical sensor.

An apparatus for a vehicle includes processing circuitry configured to obtain identification information on a future passenger of the vehicle, the identification information comprising an ultra-wideband communication identification of a mobile device of the future passenger. The processing circuitry is also configured to locate the future passenger outside the vehicle using ultra-wideband communication, the ultra-wideband communication being performed between an ultra-wideband transceiver of the vehicle and the mobile device of the future passenger and being based on the ultra-wideband communication identification of the mobile device. The processing circuitry is further configured to compute guidance information based on the location of the future passenger of the vehicle, and provide the guidance information via an interface.
