Echo Vision: A Smart Ultrasonic Radar System for Real-Time Object Detection

Pravin Navi, Aditya Ghawane, Rajshekar M

Abstract


The Ultrasonic Radar System is a cost-effective and efficient method for object detection and distance measurement, widely applicable in automation, robotics, and security systems. This project utilizes ultrasonic sound waves, which are transmitted and received by an ultrasonic sensor to detect objects within a specified range. The system calculates the distance to an object based on the time taken for the ultrasonic pulse to travel to the object and back (echo). A microcontroller processes this data and visually represents the environment on a display, often using graphical interfaces like radar-style circular scans. The system operates on the principle of echolocation, similar to sonar, and offers real-time scanning and obstacle detection with high accuracy. This project demonstrates the integration of electronics and software to simulate radar functionality, emphasizing low-power consumption, affordability, and practical implementation for applications such as autonomous navigation and intrusion detection.
