Development of Intelligent Trolley Follower by using Global Position System (GPS)

Abstract

This report are to development of Intelligence Trolley Follower by using Global Position System (GPS).The objective of this project is to innovate trolley from manual handling to automatic that can move place to place by using GPS technology and to saving time and manpower. The trolley follower also an automatic trolley that easier for a user to use in all ages in anywhere and anytime. In this era, the manual trolley has been used by a majority in each country compared to the automatic trolley. The research shows traditional trolley will lead a problem to health in a long time use for manual handling and waste manpower to push it every time it wants to move. To overcome the problem above, this proposed project has been made to help human at daily life or industrial user. This Trolley Follower is using Arduino Uno as a controller for the input and output of this system. The user need connect Bluetooth via application in smartphone and trolley follower. After calibrating, Trolley follower will start to follow the user by using GPS and 12V DC motor to move it. Ultrasonic sensor function was to detect an obstacle in all of the journey to the destination and trolley follower will re-route the track if detect any obstacle then create a new waypoint to the trolley. This project can help disabled people or old ages to carry their item in daily life.
