Customer Projects

In the civil engineering, safeguarding the structural integrity and safety of bridges is paramount. Real-Time Kinematic enables the detection and precise measurement of even the slightest movements or deformations within bridge structures. Monitoring world’s longest walking bridge with the help of ArduSimple A notable application of ArduSimple RTK system in bridge monitoring was demonstrated during […]

It has long been recognised that volcanoes and in particular its calderas deform as fluids migrate. The Rabaul Caldera in Papua Guinea is a type example of a caldera that undergoes complex and occasionally rapid deformation. Monitoring these deformations with RTK technology is not something new, but historically has been an expensive task not affordable

Table of contents Introduction In 2020, Professor Michael E. Hodgson, from the Department of Geography, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA completed a rigorous field test evaluation of the RTK Portable Bluetooth Kit operating in RTK mode on the South Carolina Virtual Reference Network (SCRTN). Professor Hodgson was in the process of retiring his Topcon

Pocket Locator: Objectives The customer’ project aims to create a small, lightweight, and affordable GNSS receiver that provides centimeter-level positioning using RTK. It targets mobile field users who need higher accuracy than standard GPS without using bulky surveying equipment and make compatible with both Android and iOS devices. Specifications and Performance This customer’s ultracompact RTK

Today we are happy to share this customer project that makes use of u-blox ZED-F9R: GNSS RTK and 6-axis IMU fused together to achieve centimeter-level accuracy outdoors, while keeping decimeter-level accuracy inside short tunnels and meter-level accuracy in longer tunnels. Jim Gayes has been a Google Trusted Partner, capturing Google Street View imagery of outside

Dear followers, Today we want to share this cool project from Pasi Nuutinmäki where you can see one of the use cases of 3xZED-F9P version of simpleRTK2B-SBC. The setup consists of 2 “rigs” with 3 GNSS-antennas/receivers (u-blox ZED-F9P) attached to both. Using the coordinates of the antennas, the location and orientation of an object can

For the fans and professionals of alpine ski today we want to share the project developed by K.Matsuhashi from Japan. Mr. Matsuhashi had problems to objectively measure the quality of his skiing turns and quantify its skidding. To resolve this challenge he had the great idea of giving a try to RTK technology. And it

Today we want to share with you an interesting project, especially useful for commercial landscapers and any of us who have a lawn: an Aftermarket Autopilot for Commercial Mowers. Greenzie (www.greenzie.com) is a US-based company that builds software for autonomous robotic lawn mowers. Their retrofit kit and software adds self driving to existing zero-turn commercial

Dear followers, today we want to share with you the business that our friends from PXGNSS in Costa Rica have developed around simpleRTK2B: Ready to go surveyor kits for businesses and independent professionals. Centimeter level Base-Rover, NTRIP Rover and PPK are now possible out of the box and with local support. PXGNSS makes it now affordable

Table of contents Using ROS in robotics For the ones who don’t know ROS, we quote the definition from their own website: ROS (Robot Operating System) provides libraries and tools to help software developers create robot applications. It provides hardware abstraction, device drivers, libraries, visualizers, message-passing, package management, and more. ROS is licensed under an open
