Project Overview:
I am seeking experienced professionals for consultation and potential development work on a prototype Ultra-Wideband (UWB) localization system. The project aims to explore and implement a scalable, low-power UWB solution that facilitates precise ranging and 3D localization without the need for base stations.

Consultation Phase:
The initial phase involves a detailed consultation to determine the feasibility of using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware for the project. The consultation will help me decide whether the system can be assembled using readily available components or if a custom-built solution is necessary.

Project Requirements:
Hardware and System Requirements:
– Low Power and Low Computing Platforms: Preferably using ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or similar low-power devices.
– Tags Configuration:
  – A minimum of three tags, with no base stations.
  – Each tag should be capable of two-way ranging with other tags in the system.
  – The system must be scalable to support additional tags.
– Ranging Techniques:
  – Implementation of both Time of Arrival (ToA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA).
  – Angle of Arrival (AoA) capabilities to enable accurate range and 3D location calculation.
– Operational Range: Tags must operate effectively within a range of 0.1 to 2.0 meters.
– High Update Rate: UWB system should support high update rates for real-time localization.
– UART Output: The system should provide output data (range, AoA, 3D location) via UART for easy utilization.

Software Requirements:
– Development Environments: Preferred programming languages and IDEs, such as Arduino IDE for accessibility and easy tweaking.
– Programming Languages: Python or C++.

Project Deliverables:
1. Consultation Report:
   – Feasibility analysis of using COTS hardware for the UWB system.
   – Recommendations on whether to proceed with COTS components or develop a custom-built solution.
2. Development Plan
   – Detailed project plan outlining the development steps, timeline, and milestones.
   – Hardware and software requirements.
   – Estimated costs and resource needs.

I look forward to working with skilled professionals who can help bring this UWB localization system to life.
