Abstract

This paper investigates static and dynamic localization accuracy of two indoor localization systems using Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology: Pozyx and DecaWave DW1000. We present the results of laboratory research, which demonstrates how those two UWB systems behave in practice. Our research involves static and dynamic tests. A static test was performed in the laboratory using the different relative positions of anchors and the tag. For a dynamic test, we used a robot that was following the EvAAL-based track located between anchors. Our research revealed that both systems perform below our expectations, and the accuracy of both systems is worse than declared by the system manufacturers. The imperfections are especially apparent in the case of dynamic measurements. Therefore, we proposed a set of filters that allow for the improvement of localization accuracy.
