Follow Me 360° Omnidirectional Following System | Idle Cycle UWB Indoor Positioning Angle Module

The Follow-Me 360° Omnidirectional Following System is a high-precision UWB indoor positioning and autonomous tracking solution developed by NOOPLOOP. Combining ranging, angle measurement, communication, and remote control into a single platform, the system delivers real-time 360° perception with ±5 cm ranging accuracy and ±5° angle precision.

Designed for robotics, AGVs, warehouse automation, and intelligent machines, it supports reliable operation in challenging indoor environments with IP67 protection and advanced anti-interference algorithms.

The NOOPLOOP Follow-Me system integrates ultra-wideband (UWB) technology with array antennas to provide accurate distance, orientation, and pitch data. Its omnidirectional field of view enables autonomous robots and mobile platforms to track targets from any direction without requiring complex camera systems.

Built for industrial automation and robotics, the system combines positioning, communication, and remote control into one compact solution.
