USAGE OF PARALLAX ULTRASONIC SENSORS IN DISTANCE MEASUREMNTS

摘要

Abstract — In this paper it is presented one model of distance measuring to some objects using an ultrasonic sensor. The objects have different shapes and are displayed on some presets distances over the sensor. For the measurements it was use a Parallax ultrasonic sensor. The operational principle of an ultrasonic sensor is based on the generation of acoustic waves and their detection when reflected by an object. The measurements results are used to improve the mobile robots navigation.
