Electrical and computer engineering students from Abu Dhabi University (ADU) have designed and created a system called 'D1Cart', that will provide people of determination with shopping assistance.
'D1Cart' will help people of determination reach the items on higher selves with the help of a robotic arm and a lifting mechanism that can be controlled with a remote joystick. The control system can be adjusted to include factors like speed, sensitivity and reliability which will help easily control the device.
The device also uses an automatic scanning system that will help the individuals to avoid queus at the cashier.
'D1Cart' was designed by Abdullah Said Gad, Abdalla Eslam Rashed, Saeed Darwish Alkhemeiri, and Gasm Elbary Mohamed, with the support of Dr Mohammed Ghazal, Professor and Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at ADU, and Dr Mohammad Alkheder, Chair and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
