Anika’s project demonstrates a smart automated gate system that uses sensors to save energy and reduce human effort. It includes an ultrasonic distance sensor to detect vehicles, a servo motor to control gate movement, and an LDR sensor to manage lighting in low-light conditions. When a vehicle is within 15 cm and it's dark, the servo opens the gate and lights switch on. Manual buttons offer additional control. The project faced coding challenges, especially integrating multiple components using a microcontroller. Through practical demonstrations, Anika showcased how sensor-based automation can improve daily life using class-taught electronics and programming concepts.
