Arduino Radar

Model
Object Detection with Ultrasonic Technology
What Is an Arduino
Radar Model?
A compact object detection system using
ultrasonic waves to sense the environment. The
Arduino microcontroller processes real-time
distance and angular data, creating a scanning
pattern that mimics professional radar systems.
It effectively scans areas within approximately 4
meters—radar technology democratized for
students, hobbyists, and engineers.
Key Components
Arduino Uno R3 HC-SR04 Sensor
Central processor handling sensor inputs and motor Emits and receives ultrasonic pulses for distance
control measurement

Tower Pro 9G Servo Arduino IDE & Processing
