  1. Wireless Localization System Using Propagation Timing Brian Dake Brian Vaughan Sean Brennan

  2. Basics • Localization using propagation timing • Location tracked in real time • Can be used to control servos for tracking • Spotlights, cameras, laser pointer, etc

  3. Function • 1 mobile mote • 3 stationary motes • Mote communication established through radio frequencies • Localization calculated using propagation delay of ultrasound wave • Servo motors follow the mobile mote in real time

  4. Design • Motes from Crossbow

  5. Design • Ultrasound TX/RX added to motes • Mobile mote incorporates ultrasound TX • Stationary mote incorporates ultrasound RX • TinyOS from Berkeley available online to program motes

  6. Implementation • Mobile mote sends out radio and ultrasound signals at the same time MobileMote Stationary Mote

  7. Implementation • Stationary mote measures time difference between radio and ultrasound pulse • Distance is calculated • Position is found using multiple stationary motes • Instructions given to servos for movement based on real time position

  8. Problems • Integrating ultrasound devices • We can build our own motes using circuit diagrams from the MIT Cricket project • Just use radio strength data (less accurate) • Time delay in processing location • Might be easier to implement using UHF RFID Radar

  9. Mini-Project • Implement the mote system using two motes • Ultrasound and radio communication working
