Radio Vision: See Through Smoke and Around Corners
Researchers have developed a robot with a powerful radio-based vision system that can see through smoke, intense rain, or even around corners, using millimetre wave technology similar to 5G installations. This innovative approach uses radio waves to detect concealed objects and even "fingerprint" the details of a room. The technology has the potential to revolutionize robotics and autonomous vehicles, enabling them to navigate complex environments with greater ease.
- The development of this radio-based sensing system highlights the growing interest in non-visible electromagnetic radiation for imaging applications, which could lead to new breakthroughs in fields such as surveillance and security.
- Can this technology be adapted for use in other areas, such as medical imaging or environmental monitoring, where its ability to penetrate through obstacles could provide significant benefits?
