Verkamman, Sjors (author), Kouwenhoven, Kevin (author)In this thesis, we describe the design process of a distance sensing system for the Deci Zebro swarm robots. We use a technique that transmits a radio frequency message and a ultrasonic pulse concurrently. Due to the difference in propagation speed of both signals, the distance could be measured using time difference of arrival (TDOA). A cone...bachelor thesis 2017
