Ultrasonic and IR Targeting System

The frame is fully 3D-modeled and 3D-printed, housing a two-axis pan-tilt mechanism built around a custom MCU-based control board. An IR sensor combined with multiple ultrasonic sensors gives the system overlapping proximity and motion data, which the onboard controller uses to detect and track the movement of individuals within its field of view.

The control board follows the same custom-PCB approach used elsewhere at Axion: an MCU handling sensor polling, signal filtering, and pan-tilt actuation, with tracking logic converting raw ultrasonic and IR readings into a target heading the turret can follow in real time.
