Autonomous robot-assisted indoor wireless coverage characterization platform

This invention describes a system where a robot, like a drone, flies or drives around inside a building. As it moves, it creates a map of the space and simultaneously measures the strength of wireless signals. The robot uses this data to build a complete picture of Wi-Fi coverage, pinpointing weak areas and suggesting optimal locations for Wi-Fi routers.

Why it matters: Since 2015, advancements in miniaturized sensors, on-board processing, and robust SLAM algorithms have made autonomous robot navigation and real-time mapping significantly more practical and affordable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomous robot, SLAM software, wireless sensors
