Researchers have developed a novel system for tracking small, low-power devices, such as bees, across large landscapes. This system utilizes a minimal number of Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements from rotating transmitters to infer the Angle of Arrival (AoA). The movement path of the receivers is then modeled using Gaussian processes and reconstructed with variational inference, achieving approximately 10-15 meters of accuracy while consuming less than 600 microwatts of power. This technology has potential applications in fields like movement ecology, the Internet of Things, and robotics, and has been demonstrated by tracking the nest return flights of Bombus terrestris.
