The timing of this post is nuts. I was thinking about a post-apocalyptic future last night (as one does) and wondered if using the gyro on your phone would suffice if the initial location and full map was already available.
I think the answer is still unclear since they are using pre-determined routes (easier to track east -> west or east -> southwest than it is east -> north -> south -> north -> east again). But this is very cool that they have so much of the work done already. Maybe even all of it? I don't have the code to look at so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Either way, still freaked out they read my mind lol
- showerst 2y agoThis is called inertial navigation, and it works over short distances but then breaks down due to cumulative error. This is a pretty cool use case though since as you said it would be much easier over a fixed route.
