Radar Tracking Arm

Radar Tracking Arm

Autonomous object detection and tracking with ultrasonic sensing, dual-Arduino control, and servo actuation.

Overview

The Radar Tracking Arm detects objects using an ultrasonic sensor, computes position, and moves a servo-driven mechanism to follow the object in real time. The system uses two Arduinos: one for sensing and one for precise actuation.

CAD

CAD files for the arm components and mount are available in the repository.

Highlights

  • Dual-Arduino split for responsive sensing and actuation.
  • Low-latency servo control loop for smooth tracking.
  • Compact mechanical design for mounting and field testing.
