| Title |
Trajectory Tracing and Object Avoidance Platform |
| Supervisor |
Rastko Selmic |
| Description |
Today, we have many activities that require us to carry heavy or large elements suchas garbage bins, shopping carts, suitcases, etc. This may get tiring depending on the distance carried and the weight being carried. We propose a moving platform that can be given aspecific target point as its destination, and it would move autonomously to that point whileavoiding any obstacles.Types of obstacles would be humans, potholes, trees, sides of the sidewalk (to avoidfalling), objects laying on the floor, etc. Another mode for this project would be for it tofollow a specific person or device that is authenticated. This relieves city workers from having to carry around garbage bins and rather they can walk around collecting garbage towards their destination and the platform would follow them. It can also help carry customers’ groceries around the supermarket which is advantageous for everyone and for elderly people, or injured people, who have a tougher time carrying or pushing heavy basket sor carts of groceries. The idea of a platform is versatile and could accommodate many different applications just by adding the needed model on top of the moving platform. |
