Abstract :
In this paper, we present the design of a laser tracking system using intelligent sensor nodes. We describe the individual components of the system as well as the related performance we achieve. The system is robust against electromagnetic field interferences and environmental influences. We present the differences between our precise laser tracker and other tracking systems like indoor radar or GPS, and finally the advantage of a hybrid system.
