WEBVTT -- English 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.346 ahh yes, modern technology! 00:00:03.375 --> 00:00:05.375 it's wonderful 00:00:05.421 --> 00:00:08.922 We've got these robots cleaning our houses for us 00:00:08.968 --> 00:00:11.689 Look at this one: from the chair to the lamp 00:00:11.958 --> 00:00:15.087 and from the lamp to the chair 00:00:15.618 --> 00:00:18.315 and now back to the lamp..? 00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:22.960 The medical world, yeah that's amazing! 00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:26.778 Oh, like my grandma, she got an MRI scan 00:00:26.807 --> 00:00:29.260 she's just down the hall second room on the left 00:00:29.435 --> 00:00:31.772 Or another halloway or maybe to the right 00:00:31.829 --> 00:00:33.829 I'm pretty sure it was to the left. Ahhh!!! 00:00:34.649 --> 00:00:38.979 If only there was a way to position things! 00:00:41.978 --> 00:00:46.168 Hi, I'm Sam and for the past 5 years I’ve been doing research on indoor positioning 00:00:46.615 --> 00:00:50.740 During those years I realized that the positioning technologies today 00:00:50.819 --> 00:00:56.420 like GPS, wifi or bluetooth are simply not accurate enough for a lot of applications. 00:00:56.496 --> 00:01:01.401 That’s why we need a new technology and this is where ultra-wideband comes in. 00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:07.388 This new technology is specifically designed for indoor positioning with centimeter accuracy. 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.899 Together with my two friends Koen and Vadim, we decided to make such a system ourselves. 00:01:17.237 --> 00:01:19.237 Introducing Pozyx. 00:01:19.295 --> 00:01:24.558 Pozyx is an elegant little board that provides accurate positioning and motion information. 00:01:24.594 --> 00:01:28.969 The system is Arduino compatible and with only a few lines of code 00:01:28.996 --> 00:01:33.698 your arduino robot or drone can know where it is and what it's looking at. 00:01:33.736 --> 00:01:39.849 Next to positioning, the the system also allows wireless communication from one Arduino to another 00:01:39.878 --> 00:01:44.489 so you can read out sensors, steer robots or send other commands. 00:01:48.677 --> 00:01:51.560 Pozyx is very similar to the GPS you have in your car. 00:01:51.597 --> 00:01:56.138 Like the GPS satellites in the sky, Pozyx requires 4 little anchors to be placed on the walls 00:01:56.177 --> 00:02:00.420 The pozyx board is what you will put on a robot or person to track it. 00:02:01.197 --> 00:02:05.638 Using the innovative ultra-wideband technology, it is 50 times more accurate than GPS. 00:02:05.661 --> 00:02:10.588 And don’t worry about walls and obstructions, even in those situations pozyx will still work 00:02:14.615 --> 00:02:17.338 Pozyx allows you to do some pretty amazing things 00:02:17.355 --> 00:02:19.938 like navigate your robot through your house 00:02:19.973 --> 00:02:22.032 make your house respond to your movement 00:02:22.062 --> 00:02:24.062 or even track your cat. 00:02:24.157 --> 00:02:28.019 But to be honest.. we are just curious to see what you will do with it! 00:02:30.578 --> 00:02:32.578 Our product is almost ready 00:02:32.625 --> 00:02:34.625 Help us finish it 00:02:34.657 --> 00:02:38.149 Back us on kickstarter and we will bring this modern technology to your house!
