1. A device comprising:
- a structure hosting a processor, a memory, a transmitter, a receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), wherein the processor is in communication with the memory, the transmitter, the receiver, and the IMU, wherein the memory stores a set of instructions executable via the processor, wherein the set of instructions instructs the processor to;
cause a plurality of signals to be transmitted via the transmitter,cause a plurality of echoes to be received via the receiver, wherein the echoes are based on the signals being reflected off an object, wherein the echoes include a plurality of digital data units,decode the digital data units,determine a plurality of times of flight of the signals based on the digital data units as decoded,form a plurality of readings based on the times of flight,obtain a reading from the IMU contemporaneous to the readings, wherein the reading is based on a motion of the structure relative to the object,perform a fusion of the readings and the reading,perform a tracking of the motion of the structure based on the fusion,determine a location of the object relative to the structure based on the tracking, andtake an action based on the location.
