Positioning sensors
Positioning sensors
(OP)
Hi,
I am newbie looking for advise on how to build a local positioning system.
I need to track the position of 10 objects in a 1000sqf room continuosly. objects will be moving, so I need certain acuracy and response.
Sonar? I saw those things fisherman use to track fish.
I need to get those positions data into a computer.
Where should i be looking to?
thanks

RE: Positioning sensors
do you want to put transmitters on these 10 objects(do these 10 objects change or are they the same object forever)
what kind of location info do you need--x y and z coordinates or what?
how accurate do you need to be.
do you need to just know whether these objects are in the room?
i think you need to be more specific, the best way to do this is to create a flowchart so that you understand all inputs and outputs and logic.

Start with GE's line of products and then you can expand your search after the tutorial phase.

Do they have wheels ? Do you contro; the motion ?

Check out the MotionStar System. I think it just about solves your problem. If you can handle wires.
6 degree's of freedoom
up to 90 sensors
3.05 meters in any direction.
