Automatic radio site survey using a robot

This invention describes a robot that automatically surveys an area for radio signals. It moves through a pre-planned path, measuring how much signal strength is lost between its own radio and another fixed radio. The robot also tracks its own location to create a map of signal strength across the area.

Why it matters: Filed before modern robotics and sensor fusion made autonomous navigation highly reliable and affordable. The cost and precision of integrated navigation and RF measurement systems have dramatically improved since 2005.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, RF hardware, navigation, control software.
