High Accuracy Real-Time Positioning System For Autonomous UAVs & Robotics Operating in GPS-Denied Environments
Standard AGL Developer Kit GPS-independent real-time positioning for drones & robotics
Standard AGL Developer Kit

Agilica Geolocation (AGL) is a real-time positioning system for drones and robotics that utilizes ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology to provide precision takeoff, landing, navigation and tracking capabilities.

The system uses multiple fixed anchor nodes with known positions to create a local co-ordinate system, as well as drone-mounted mobile tags with unknown positions. By using time-of-flight to measure distance between anchors and tags, highly accurate relative position can be calculated in real time.

AGL is GPS-independent, and ensures reliable and resilient navigation even in urban canyons, indoor locations, and maritime environments. The system is highly scalable and can support an unlimited number of tag-equipped drones.

The Standard developer kit includes:

  • 6 x anchor tags
  • 1 x drone tag
  • 1 x debug tag
  • All required batteries & cables
