Abstract
Drones are usually designed to navigate outdoor spaces, they are often equipped with cameras and other sensors, making them a powerful tool for surveying large areas. In these environments a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is combined with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to achieve precise positioning, allowing successful navigation in a 3D open space. During the past years users started to use small size drones in challenging environments, indoor places, inside caves or near bridges, where a GNSS is not always reliable or reachable. Classical positioning techniques are no longer efficient in these cases, so it is necessary to develop new systems to adapt in these situations.
Ultra WideBand (UWB) sensors are used to enhance the positioning in closed environments
