# UWB Follow-Me System
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Precision person-following using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) two-way ranging. Enables SaltyLab to follow Tee during outdoor EUC rides at 20-30 km/h.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
### MaUWB ESP32-S3 (DW3000)
|
||||
- **Vendor:** Makerfabs
|
||||
- **URL:** https://www.makerfabs.com/mauwb-esp32s3-uwb-module.html
|
||||
- **Price:** $54.80 USD each
|
||||
- **SKU:** MAUWBS3CA1
|
||||
- **Qty needed:** 3 (1 tag + 2 anchors)
|
||||
|
||||
### Specs
|
||||
| Parameter | Value |
|
||||
|-----------|-------|
|
||||
| UWB Chip | Qorvo DW3000 + PA |
|
||||
| MCU | ESP32-S3 (WiFi + BLE 5.0) |
|
||||
| Co-processor | STM32 (TWR scheduling firmware) |
|
||||
| Range | 500m outdoor |
|
||||
| Accuracy | ±10cm |
|
||||
| Max anchors | 8 (auto-select nearest) |
|
||||
| Max tags | 64 |
|
||||
| Interface | AT commands via UART, USB |
|
||||
| Display | 0.96\" OLED |
|
||||
| Power | USB 5V, ~200-250mA active |
|
||||
| Channels | UWB Ch5 (6.5 GHz) + Ch9 (8 GHz) |
|
||||
| Apple U1 | Interoperable (per Qorvo) |
|
||||
|
||||
## System Layout

||||

|
||||
OLED shows range ~25cm apart for bearing estimation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
1. **Tag** (Tee) and **Anchors** (bot) perform Two-Way Ranging (TWR) at ~10-100Hz
|
||||
2. STM32 firmware handles time-slot scheduling (no signal conflicts)
|
||||
3. ESP32-S3 reports range via AT commands over UART/USB
|
||||
4. Two anchors spaced 25cm apart → **TDoA gives bearing angle**
|
||||
5. ROS2 node publishes `/uwb/target` (distance + angle in base_link frame)
|
||||
6. Fused with camera person detection for identity confirmation
|
||||
|
||||
## Tag Battery (12hr runtime)
|
||||
- 3000mAh 18650 cell (e.g., Samsung 35E)
|
||||
- TP4056 USB-C charger board
|
||||
- Mini boost converter to 5V
|
||||
- 3D-printed enclosure with belt clip
|
||||
|
||||
## Software Integration
|
||||
- ROS2 package: `saltybot_uwb`
|
||||
- Subscribes to anchor serial ports
|
||||
- Publishes: `/uwb/target` (geometry_msgs/PoseStamped)
|
||||
- Fused in `person_follower_node` as primary position source
|
||||
- Camera serves as secondary (identity confirmation + obstacle avoidance)
