    Abstract: A method includes, when a handheld device is in motion within a service area to be traversed by a robot: obtaining ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging measurements between the handheld device and multiple anchors located in the service area; and obtaining image data and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. The method also includes determining a trajectory of motion of the handheld device based on the UWB ranging measurements. The method also includes adjusting the trajectory based on image features obtained from the image data and motion estimates obtained from the IMU data. The method also includes identifying the adjusted trajectory as a boundary of the service area.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a Lidar sensor, a radar sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to identify one or more objects from Lidar scans. The processor is configured to transmit, via the radar sensor, radar signals for object detection based on reflections of the radar signals received by the radar sensor. While the electronic device travels the area, the processor is configured to generate a first map indicating one or more objects within an area based on the Lidar scans and a second map based on the radar signals. The processor is configured to determine whether the second map indicates a missed object at the portion of the first map that is unoccupied. In response to a determination that the second map indicates the missed object, the processor is configured to modify the first map with the missed object.

    Abstract: A method includes identifying a first anchor of a plurality of anchors as an initiator and identifying multiple second anchors of the plurality of anchors as multiple responders, the plurality of anchors located in a service area to be traversed by a robot. The method also includes sending, to the initiator and the responders via a wireless side-link, ranging information and a command to start ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging. The method also includes receiving, from the initiator via the wireless side-link, pair-wise range measurements representing UWB range measurements between the initiator and the responders. The method also includes generating initial location values for the initiator and the responders based on the pair-wise range measurements and one or more geometric constraints imposed on the initiator and the responders. The method also includes estimating 3D coordinates of the initiator and the responders using the initial location values.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is operably connected to the transceiver. The processor is configured to transmit, via the transceiver, radar signals for activity recognition. The processor is also configured to identify a first set of features and a second set of features from received reflections of the radar signals, the first set of features indicating whether an activity is detected based on power of the received reflections. Based on the first set of features indicating that the activity is detected, the processor is configured to compare one or more of the second set of features to respective thresholds to determine whether a condition is satisfied. After a determination that the condition is satisfied, the processor is configured to perform an action based on a cropped portion of the second set of features.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining channel information, range information, and angle of arrival (AoA) information based on wireless signals communicated between an electronic device and an external electronic device. The method also includes generating an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device based on the channel information and at least one of the range information or the AoA information. The initial prediction includes an indication of whether the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device. The method further includes performing, using a tracking filter, a smoothing operation on the range information and the AoA information. Additionally, the method includes determining that the external electronic device is within the FoV of the electronic device based on the AoA information, the smoothed AoA information, and the initial prediction.

    Abstract: A method for presence detection using ultra-wide band (UWB) radar includes obtaining a set of centroids based on UWB radar measurements. The method includes, for each respective centroid among the set of centroids: classifying the respective centroid as one among human movement and non-human movement, based on a set of features for the respective centroid satisfying a human-movement condition; and when the respective centroid is classified as the human movement, determining a two-dimensional (2D) location of human movement based on the UWB radar measurements. The method includes updating a current state value that indicates whether a human presence is detected inside boundaries of a 3D space, based at least in part on the classification of each of the respective centroids among the set of centroids.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining signal information based on wireless signals received from an external electronic device via a first antenna pair and a second antenna pair. The first and second antenna pairs are aligned along different axes. The signal information includes channel information, range information, a first angle of arrival (AoA) based on the first antenna pair, and a second AoA based on the second antenna pair. The method also includes generating an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device. The method further includes performing a smoothing operation on the range information and the first and second AoA, the smoothing operation generating a predicted location of the external electronic device relative to the FoV of the electronic device. Additionally, the method includes generating, based on the smoothing operation, confidence values associated with the predicted location.
