Robot radar study reconstructs structures on both sides in one pass

Researchers report reconstructing three-dimensional structures on both sides of a mobile robot's path using one forward-mounted radar during a single forward pass. The preprint describes a method that combines radar measurements taken at different frequencies and robot positions to locate nearby structures without learned representations of the scene. Experiments in controlled, office/study and corridor environments produced mean lateral-forward localization errors of 4.65, 5.63 and 5.98 cm, respectively. The method combines local images to account for structures becoming visible from different viewpoints; the reported results cover those three experimental environments.
