Object Detection Using RADAR Mounted on Quadcopter

Abstract

The object detection using radar mounted on quadcopter is achieved by a mobile radar which can be taken to any place or location with the help of quadcopter and can be used to detect if there is any unidentified object in its protected area. The quadcopter used is made with Arduino Uno controller and it has a RC (Remote control) remote which works of radio frequency for controlling its direction of motion. The radar has been developed by an ultrasonic sensor which uses ultrasonic waves to detect objects and a servo motor is used to rotate the ultrasonic sensor to cover the entire protected area. The radar has been made wireless with the help of RF (radio frequency) transmitter and receiver module which sends the data on the PC (Personal computer) wirelessly. There are two circuits for the radar namely transmitter and receiver circuits. The transmitter circuit has been mounted on a quadcopter, which can take the radar to any location in its coverage area which makes the radar mobile.
