PULSE
Simulator
The Ultimate Open-Source Platform
for Indoor Localization Research.
Simulate complex, physics-accurate UWB environments to validate your algorithms. Accelerate your research by training RL agents in realistic scenarios without the cost of physical hardware.
Core Capabilities
Complex Environments
Simulate realistic indoor spaces with custom floor plans and dynamic, moving obstacles.
Realistic Physics
Generate accurate UWB Channel Impulse Responses (CIR) using advanced Ray Tracing.
Algorithm Validation
Test and validate localization algorithms (EKF, UKF, PF) against ground truth data.
AI & RL Ready
Train Reinforcement Learning agents to perform localization tasks in complex scenarios.
Why Choose PULSE?
Developing robust indoor localization systems requires extensive testing in diverse conditions. Physical experiments are costly, time-consuming, and hard to reproduce.
PULSE provides a reproducible, scalable, and accessible platform for experimentation. Whether you are a researcher validating a new filter or a developer building a UWB-based product, PULSE offers the tools you need to iterate fast.
