Abstract

RADAR is a detection system that utilizes radio waves for the detection and location of an object. The application of Radar system is used in the military as well as in commercial use in the field of navigation, positioning, object identification, mapping, or tracking. In this paper, a resourceful cost-efficient system that measures the location and height of the object detected is designed by using basic components to reduce power consumption and aims to use Ultrasonic via an Arduino-based radar system. This is a preliminary study to design an object detection and tracking system for a waste plastic bottle collector robot. This system is controlled through an Arduino UNO board where it is to control the ultrasonic sensor and interfaces the sensor and display device. The ultrasonic sensor is attached to two servo motors: (1) the first servo motor rotates about 180 degrees and gives a visual graphical representation, and it also gives the angle or position of the object and distance of the object, (2) the second servo motor work once the object is detected, it will rotate up and down to measure the height of the detected object. The prototype is able to detect the object and measure the distance as well as the height of the object with a cost-efficient method. Object detection includes the distance and the height.
