Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student knows how to - apply different positioning methods in diverse positioning environments, including indoor and urban environments - choose the appropriate components and algorithms to the device, taking into account the power and size constraints for the positioning device - estimate the error behavior of the positioning result - interpret the specifications of positioning devices
