Linux的/ IWR1642BOOST:How do I use a millimeter-wave radar to get an accurate relative distance to a stationary object

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST


Tool/software: Linux的

I want to use millimeter wave radar to enhance indoor robot positioning function, visual slam will have cumulative error, I want to by millimeter wave radar to measure the precise distance of robot and obstacles (such as a wall), by observing the change of distance to determine the relative motion of the robot, but I use the demo Visualizer to get the distance is not accurate, too few points,I don't know which point I can't represent a wall, if I use  rviz to get  point cloud, also can't get the accurate distance of robot relative to the obstacles, could you tell me how can I get it  by millimeter wave radar ?

  • Hi,

    The autonomous robotics example does something similar to this, it detects and avoids object in its part. In the visualizer tell it estimate of where it is on the map and set a destination. You can also create boundaries

    Please review this example and make needed changes to suit your application
