IMPALA project. Hyperfrequency radar for outdoor simultaneous localization and mapping
The main objective of the project IMPALA is to demonstrate that radar technology is an alternative solution to classical perception systems used in outdoor mobile robotics. This paper presents the rotating FMCW radar developed during the project and results from the combined use of radar and "Simultaneous Localization And Mapping" (SLAM) techniques in outdoor environment. Range and velocity from mobile objects can be extracted, which lead to future applications of DATMO (Detection And Tracking of Moving Objects) the first results are presented here.
