Smart people have the ability to see around corners while RF sensing gives anyone the ability to see through walls. Super important analysis as always but this one hits deeper and way different so thank you for putting it all together so cogently.
Really fascinating deep dive. The progression from motion detection to skeleton reconstruction to person identification is wild.
The robotics implications grabbed me most. Home robots are one of the hardest deployment problems right now because navigating a space with people in it requires knowing where everyone is, including rooms you can't see into yet. Cameras and lidar only give you line-of-sight. WiFi sensing gives a robot ambient spatial awareness of the entire home before it even moves. Fundamentally different starting point.
ZaiNar's "foundational layer for physical AI" framing is right. The interesting thing is that this layer is already installed in almost every building on the planet. Most robotics companies are trying to solve indoor positioning from scratch. The answer might already be bouncing off the walls.
Worth flagging though: as WiFi sensing becomes a standard infrastructure layer, access authorization and anti-spoofing become critical. A sensing layer that's everywhere and always on is also an attack surface that's everywhere and always on.
Really scary as well as incredible.
