This contest aims to provide mutual exchanges between researchers and engineers who use the GPS and the quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS), as well as to provide students at universities and colleges of technology with opportunities to acquire basic technology regarding satellite positioning and technical exchanges. In 2020, the competition will be held remotely considering the spread of the new coronavirus.

【123】Robot Infiniti L6 (Otawara Robot Institute)

*This is a sample. We did not create a robot car with an L6 receiver; however, we anticipate robot cars equipped with L6 receivers.

◆ One word appeal (up to 300 characters)

“Robot Infiniti L6” is equipped with a receiver for the L6 signal transmitted from Michibiki. A centimeter-class positioning can be performed in real time without requiring a reference station. Although the L6 receiver has reduced in size, it is still large for a robot car; therefore, it cannot perform at high speed. However, we addressed this as a new challenge.

◆Specifications of robot car

GPS module name: MJ-3021-GM4-QZS-EVK

Robot car controller: Arduino

Satellite used: QZSS GPS Galileo BeiDou

Sensors other than satellite positioning: Geomagnetism
