Thirty-Eight Milligrams Carried a Landscape-Scale Track
Rotating high-gain transmitters and probabilistic inference reconstruct paths for receivers too small and power-limited for satellite navigation.
Summary
Rotating high-gain transmitters and probabilistic inference reconstruct paths for receivers too small and power-limited for satellite navigation.
The reported system tracked 38-milligram receivers over a scalable landscape using sparse signal-strength measurements, reaching about 15-meter accuracy below 180 microwatts and about 10 meters below 600 microwatts. A bee-return-flight demonstration grounds the method, though accuracy and range remain dependent on the tested landscape and radio setup.
Why it matters
