HC-SR04 is an inexpensive ultrasonic sensor module readily available in market these days and is extensively used in robotic applications for sensing and ranging the obstacles. With a proper arrangement of multiple ultrasonic sensors, it is possible to detect motion and its direction too. This motion-controlled ultrasonic lamp project uses three HC-SR04 sensor modules in an array to detect a waving hand in front of them and rotates the lamp to adjust its position according to the direction of motion of the hand.
