This paper explores a machine learning approach on data from a single-chip mmWave radar for generating high resolution point clouds – a key sensing primitive for robotic applications such as mapping, odometry and localization. Unlike lidar and vision-based systems, mmWave radar can operate in harsh environments and see through occlusions like smoke, fog, and dust. Unfortunately, current mmWave pro...
