1. A system for monitoring objects surrounding an area, the system comprising:
a first RF system comprising:
one or more first antennas that are positioned to face a first direction; and
a first processing module in communication with the one or more first antennas, wherein the first processing module comprises:
a computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions and a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model has been trained to identify a type of object associated with a first set of RF signals; and
one or more first processors that are configured to execute the first program instructions to cause the first RF system to:
collect, using the one or more first antennas, a first set of RF signal data associated with a first object;
identify, by application of the machine learning model, a type of object associated with the first object;
based at least in part on the type of object, generate and cause transmission of, using the one or more first antennas, a second set of RF signals different from the first set of RF signals; and
based on a determination that the first object is moving away from the first direction and towards a second direction:
reduce power output of the transmission of the second set of RF signals by the one or more first antennas over a period of time; and
transmit, to a second RF system, a data packet associated with the second set of RF signals; and
the second RF system comprising:
the one or more second antennas that are positioned to face the second direction different from the first direction; and
a second processing module in communication with the one or more second antennas and comprising a second one or more processors configured to execute second program instructions to cause the second RF system to:
receive, from the first RF system, the data packet; and
cause transmission of, using the one or more second antennas, the second set of RF signals towards the second direction and the first object.
