Review of Low-Cost Object Tracking Systems Using Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensors

Abstract: This project involves the development of a compact radar system utilizing Arduino technology to detect and track objects. An ultrasonic sensor is employed to measure the distance to these objects, while a servo motor facilitates the movement of the sensor in various directions. The radar data is displayed on a computer screen. This system proves beneficial in fields such as security, robotics, and monitoring. It is both costeffective and straightforward to construct. This initiative demonstrates the integration of sensors and microcontrollers to produce a functional radar system model. Radar serves as an object detection mechanism that employs radio waves to ascertain the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. The sensor emits waves that are used to gauge the distance to an object. The microcontrollers on the Arduino board can be programmed using C and C++ programming languages. When code is developed in the Arduino UNO IDE software, it can be connected to the board via a USB cable.
