Biologically-inspired 3D radar sensor supporting intelligent robotic behavior in complex and cluttered environments. University of Antwerp
The goal of this research is to produce a compact, light-weight sensor which will enable an unmanned aerial vehicle to autonomously traverse trajectories through cluttered environments, such as a forest, while sensing and avoiding objects. The sensor is inspired by biological echolocation as performed by bats, which involves emitting an ultrasonic signal and closely listening to its reflections. By analyzing how each received echo differs from ...
