Abstract
A positioning system includes a base station and a tracking device. The base station is configured to receive an estimated location of the base station at a receiver coupled to the base station and determine a correction measurement based on the estimated location of the base station and a known location of the base station. The tracking device is configured to obtain an estimated location of a target object, receive an estimated location of the tracking device at a receiver coupled to the tracking device, determine a relative position between the target object and the tracking device based on the estimated location of the target object, the estimated location of the tracking device, and the correction measurement, and control a movement of the tracking device according to the relative position.
