Robust Radar: New AI Sensor Technology for Autonomous Driving

TU Graz is working together with Infineon on new, robust radar sensors for autonomous driving. Infineon By Christoph Pelzl - Researchers at TU Graz have modelled an AI system for automotive radar sensors that filters out interfering signals caused by other radar sensors and dramatically improves object detection. Now the system is to be made more robust to weather and environmental influences as well as new types of interference. In order for driving assistance and safety systems in modern cars to perceive their environment and function reliably in all conceivable situations, they have to rely on sensors such as cameras, lidar, ultrasound and radar. The latter in particular are indispensable components. Radar sensors provide the vehicle with location and speed information from surrounding objects. However, they have to deal with numerous disruptive and environmental influences in traffic.
