💨 Abstract

Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a portable, real-time indoor mapping solution called 'UbiqMap'. This technology uses radio frequency-based imaging (RTI) to generate precise maps of indoor environments, regardless of lighting or environmental conditions. It's particularly useful for first responders during disaster relief operations when traditional infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. The technology can be worn by rescue personnel, automatically updating floor maps as they move through environments.
