Development and Implementation of Automatic Trolley System for Disabled, Aged and Nursing using Arduino

Every day in different countries, shopping is carried out by every category of persons. Currently, people going shopping have to push around trolleys loaded with a lot of merchandise and this is so stressful and difficult to push around. We aim to solve the current problem stated above and also ease mobility during shopping as customers such as nursing mothers with more than one child to take care of find it stressful to shop. To overcome this, we plan on automating the current trolley system by controlling the robotic trolley with hand gestures. The transmission device interfaces with an Arduino ATMEGA microcontroller, which receives signals and propels the robot based on its user's hand gesture. It reduces the stress of pushing around a shopping cart and can be controlled by hand gestures.
