Abstract
The project report describes the system which is based on Infra red (IR) technology and it can be used in robots or in any static machine to detect an object's position and its distance with respect to the IR sensors. The mechanical structure consists upon a wooden stand which is used to hold the IR sensors. A PIC microcontroller is used to operate the circuit and sensors. A voltage amplifier is used to amplify the voltages of sensors. Serial communication is used to connect the electronic circuit with computer. The interface, which is used to display the results and graph is MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI). The code to operate the sensors by PIC microcontroller is written in ‘BASIC' language. The main code to do the calculations of distance and object detection is written in MATLAB.
