Mingmin Zhao emphasizes that their initial question was whether they could merge the robustness of radio signals, resilient to fog, with the high resolution of visual sensors.
PanoRadar utilizes radio waves, which can penetrate challenging conditions like smoke and fog, enabling the creation of detailed, 3D views of an environment.
The research team aims to give robots 'superhuman vision' by combining traditional radar's ability to look through occlusions and the resolution of sophisticated sensors.
Researchers have noted that while robots have typically relied on limited sensory tools, PanoRadar represents a significant leap toward improved perception in harsh environments.
