Identifying Objects with AI and Radar

Learn how radar sees the world and how artificial intelligence turns raw radio signals into recognizable objects. You will understand the link between physical sensors and the software that makes sense of them.

About this course

Most people know radar as a tool for pilots or weather forecasters. In modern tech, it is what allows a car to see through a blizzard or a security system to track movement through a wall. This course explains how that shift happened. You will start with the basic mechanics of how radio waves bounce off objects and return as signals. Physics can tell you how far away an object is, but it often fails to tell a bush from a bicycle. This is where AI comes in. You will see how neural networks find specific patterns in pulses of energy that human math usually misses. We will show you why traditional methods struggle in messy environments and how machine learning solves that problem. By the end, you will understand how these systems operate in the real world. We cover how engineers handle interference from rain or ground clutter to keep sensors accurate. You will walk away knowing how hardware and software work together to make fast, safe decisions in autonomous systems.
