Abstract
A feasibility study to detect the respiratory rate and heart rate of primates using non-invasive contactless radar sensors and a dedicated processing pipeline is performed. The proposed approach is validated using measurement data from an individual bonobo, simultaneously collected by two different types of radar sensors (pulsed Ultra Wide Band and FMCW, operating at different frequencies). The results show that it is feasible to infer both respiration and heart rate data from the radar sensors.
