Abstract
A system includes a personal protective equipment (PPE) configured to be worn by an agent. The PPE includes a sensor assembly comprising a radar device configured to generate radar data, a microphone configured to capture speech input from the agent, and an inertial measurement device configured to generate inertial data. The system includes a computing device configured to: process sensor data from the sensor assembly, the sensor data including at least the radar data and the inertial data, to generate pose data of the agent based on the processed sensor data, the pose data including a location and an orientation of the agent as a function of time, to process the speech input to identify an item of interest in an environment in which the PPE is deployed, and to form mapping information for the environment with the item of interest being marked, based on the processed speech input.
