Researchers develop PanoRadar , a new tool to give robots superhuman vision by transforming simple radio waves into detailed, 3D views of the environment.

Radio waves, whose wavelengths are orders of magnitude longer than light waves, can better penetrate smoke and fog, and can even see through certain materials -- all capabilities beyond human vision.

The team plans to explore how PanoRadar could work alongside other sensing technologies like cameras and LiDAR .

The team is also expanding their tests to include robotic platforms and autonomous vehicles.

"For high-stakes tasks, having multiple ways of sensing the environment is crucial," says Zhao .
