ABSTRACT:
Object detection plays an important role in automation, robotics, and security systems. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor mounted on a servo motor to scan the surroundings, measure distances, and detect objects within a set range. The Arduino processes the sensor readings and displays the results on a screen or computer, making them easy to understand. The design is lightweight, energy-efficient, and suitable for applications such as obstacle avoidance in robots, automated monitoring, and safety systems. This work shows how basic hardware and microcontroller programming can be combined to create a practical and affordable object detection solution for many real-world uses.
