R1D radar distance sensor: Performance

The technology used in the R1D radar sensors is less affected by conditions such as rain, fog, and snow when compared to optical systems and lidar.

• The radio frequency signals from the R1D penetrates these conditions and allows for reliable detection. 
• The sensor continuously transmits a signal, unlike pulsed radar, ensuring constant detection capabilility.
• The advanced signal processing of the R1D filters out noise and interference caused by adverse enviornmental conditions.

In the video below, we see near constant process values from the R1D sensor even as the image from the camera is completely obscured by simulated rainy conditions.
