This invention relates to the field of indoor
positioning technology, specifically to a UWB and IMU tightly coupled positioning method and
system based on sliding window and motion constraints, comprising the following steps: S1, deploying UWB base stations in the space to be measured, installing UWB and IMU units on a ground
robot, acquiring distance observation values through bilateral bidirectional
ranging, and establishing a set of distance equations in conjunction with the
base station coordinates, and solving for the initial position using
linear least squares; S2, initializing the initial position input
error state Kalman filter, and predicting the position, velocity, and attitude based on IMU data; S3, constructing an innovation vector based on the UWB observation vector and the predicted state, updating the observation
noise covariance through a sliding window, and fusing UWB and inertial information; S4, constructing a Z-axis pseudo-zero velocity observation model and configuring the observation
noise covariance, updating the
error state through the input filter, and correcting the nominal state. This invention achieves the collaborative fusion of UWB and IMU information, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of ground
robot positioning.
