XR-PALS is an open-source research project aimed at improving indoor positioning systems for mobile robots using mixed reality technologies. It integrates ultra-wideband (UWB) tracking with an intuitive spatial setup tool to simplify the installation of tracking infrastructure in dynamic indoor environments.

Reduction in Setup Completion Time
Increased Measurement Accuracy
An initial user study (n=18) compared XR-PALS to traditional laser-based setup methods. The study demonstrated that XR-PALS significantly reduces task completion time, measurement errors, and cognitive workload.
