Its goal is to enhance accessibility, ensuring that everyone regardless of mobility or vision, can move freely and confidently within their environment. By granting greater independence and connection, this project seeks to improve quality of life and promote inclusivity for all.<\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n\n        <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee\">\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 0;font-weight: bold;color: #666;vertical-align: top;text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 13px;letter-spacing: 0.5px\">Mission<\/td>\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 10px;color: #444;vertical-align: top\">Our team will build a multimodal sensing and machine learning pipeline that leverages mmWave radar, alongside other sensing modalities, to achieve robust indoor\u2013outdoor localization and mapping. Millimeter wave (mmWave) sensor scanning technology offers key advantages: it is versatile, privacy-preserving (anonymized), and effective in diverse lighting and environmental conditions. We will use this technology to detect obstacles, walls, and navigable paths and to provide real-time orientation feedback.\n<\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n\n        <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee\">\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 0;width: 160px;font-weight: bold;color: #666;vertical-align: top;text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 13px;letter-spacing: 0.5px\">Team Members<\/td>\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 10px;color: #111;vertical-align: top\">Noah Emmert, Demetrius Hullum Scott, Joseph Sanuk, Ryan Hardek<\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n        \n        <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee\">\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 0;font-weight: bold;color: #666;vertical-align: top;text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 13px;letter-spacing: 0.5px\">Client<\/td>\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 10px;color: #111;vertical-align: top\">Dr. Vaskar Raychoudhury<\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n\n        <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee\">\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 0;font-weight: bold;color: #666;vertical-align: top;text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 13px;letter-spacing: 0.5px\">Site<\/td>\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 10px;vertical-align: top\"><span style=\"color: #999\">N\/A<\/span><\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n    <\/table>\n\n    <nav style=\"font-size: 14px;margin-top: 40px;border-top: 1px solid #eee;padding-top: 20px\">\n        <a href=\"spring-2026-project-list\" style=\"color: #005a8d;text-decoration: none;font-weight: 500\">&laquo; Back to Project List<\/a> \n        <span style=\"margin: 0 15px;color: #ccc\">|<\/span>\n        <a href=\"spring-2026-qa-schedule\" style=\"color: #005a8d;text-decoration: none;font-weight: 500\">Q&amp;A Schedule &raquo;<\/a>\n    <\/nav>\n\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IndoorOutdoorLocalizationAndMapping\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SdLC5_5YBC4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Build a multimodal sensing and machine learning pipeline that leverages mmWave radar, alongside other sensing modalities, to achieve robust indoor\u2013outdoor localization and mapping. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3017,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"chat","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,40,104],"tags":[107,117],"class_list":["post-4520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-chat","hentry","category-faculty","category-rd","category-spring-2026","tag-ml","tag-paper","post_format-post-format-chat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3017"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4520"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4884,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4520\/revisions\/4884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/cse-senior-design-expo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
