Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 287022738
The main objective of C09 in its 2nd phase is the design, realization and validation of novel, monolithically integrated RetroReflective Tag (RRT) landmarks, enabled by innovative ceramic additive manufacturing technology. These RRTs will be implemented by embedding high-Q resonators into Photonic Crystal (PhC) structures, for IDentification purposes as well as efficient clutter suppression, and by monolithically integrating these with different retroreflective lens configurations, comprising a high radar cross section at oblique incidence for high-localization accuracy and long-range readout over a wide-angle scan. This development will fulfill the MARIE need for sub-mm localization of the mobile robot in heavily cluttered, high temperature and corrosive environments, in accordance with MARIE´s in-room fire scenario vision.
