Kobi Marenko, CEOThe SLAM included in the Arbe 4D imaging radar solution is AI-powered, and its algorithms perform real-time clustering, tracking, and self-localization as well as false-target filtering and radar-camera based object classification. The company uses an array of algorithms, starting from deterministic and prior based, all the way to deep learning and proprietary, sophisticated models. Even when partially concealed by other vehicles or stationary objects, the AI algorithms can detect entities of all sizes, understand their movements and velocity, fusing with the camera and other sensors.
Direction, speed, and velocity are calculated and continuously re-assessed, delivering drivers and all levels of autonomous vehicles unceasing situational awareness in high definition. By converting information from time to frequency domains (FFT), Arbe develops a 4D image with an unparalleled element density in high azimuth and elevation resolution while simultaneously sensing the environment at a long-range, and to an extremely wide field of view. Arbe is able to reduce sidelobe occurrence levels close to zero, resolve range-Doppler ambiguities, and avoid interference from other radars.
Four years back, Kobi Marenko and his team of semiconductor engineers, radar specialists, and data scientists envisioned using signal processing and AI to take the technology innovation to great heights. But the poor performance from the market’s RF chipsets led them with no choice but to build their own digital processor and Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) with 12 receiving channels and 24 transmitting channels. Instead of the basic parameters of 12 virtual channels, Arbe is processing over 2,300 channels. Arbe’s patented solution is fully customizable, with a modular design suited to any level of vehicle autonomy or class and provides full mapping in four dimensions (distance, azimuth, elevation, and Doppler speed) and high resolution and long-range (300 meters). It also facilitates autonomous driving at all levels, from driver support (ADAS), to fully autonomous, driverless travel experience. Arbe’s feature-rich solution allows OEMs the freedom to scale resolution, range, the field of view, and functionality to fit design specifications and cost requirements. To integrate seamlessly into any vehicle design, units can be placed behind the bumper, inside a headlight and taillight, or behind the front grill.
Additionally, Arbe’s solution meets the highest industry safety and compliance standards. The company is committed to addressing functionality concerns, including mutual radar interference and protection of the system from cyberattacks. Moving forward, team Arbe focuses on continuing the technological transformation in the automotive industry. It has plans to further enhance the existing 4D imaging radar solution with new functionalities for much better environmental sensing technology that will lead to a safer world.
