AN AUTONOMOUS MOVING OBJECT

The disclosure relates to an autonomous moving object (100) comprising: a radar sensor (110) configured to scan a volume (150) in front of the object, and a radar signal processor (120) configured to: acquire a sequence (170) of radar responses, each radar response of the sequence (170) being acquired at a different position (P) of the autonomous moving object (100), and perform synthetic aperture radar processing of at least parts of the acquired sequence (170) of radar responses to obtain a synthetic aperture radar image (180a) representing response amplitude as a function of at least distance and angle with respect to the radar sensor (110), the autonomous moving object (100) further comprising: a controller (130) configured to detect presence of a potential obstacle (160) within a predefined sub-volume (155) in front of the autonomous moving object (100) by analyzing the synthetic aperture radar image (180a) and, in response to detecting presence of a potential obstacle (160), output a control command configured to cause a changed movement of the autonomous moving object (100).
