Motion detectors are sensors that record movement in a certain area. This study proposes the evaluation of three motion detectors, using the Arduino microcontroller to execute orders to the sensors infrared, PIR (passive infrared sensor) and ultrasonic, to determine the obstacle detection behavior against different objects. According to the tests carried out and the theory presented for each sensor, we have found that the most efficient sensor for object detection is the PIR, due to its scope and viewing angle, which represents being feasible and more reliable to implement; for example, in security systems.
