60GHz Mobile Imaging Radar

摘要

Mobile computing is undergoing a significant shift. Where traditional mobile networks revolved around users and their movements, new networks often center around autonomous mobile agents. These include semi-autonomous drones on military missions, vacuum robots search for dirt at home, intelligent cars that deliver us to work, and first responder robots that find and rescue victims in disasters. A critical challenge limiting these autonomous devices is the lack of accurate sensing systems, e.g. a mobile imaging system that captures the position, shape and surface material of nearby objects. These devices often require high levels of accuracy, and operate under tight constraints: in low-light conditions or moving at moderate speeds. These constraints dramatically reduce the set of possible solutions, eliminating traditional imaging systems that rely on visible light or specialized hardware.
