AUTOMATED LUGGAGE CARRIER

Abstract

Automated Luggage Carrier (ALC) is a project designed specifically for disabled people, housewives and aged citizen who lives at multi-story terrace house or flats which doesn’t have lift convenience. There are several difficulties faced by users which are not being able to carry a lot and heavy things all at once up the stairs. Besides that, time consumption happens when users are unable to bring all the things at once because they have to make multiple trips. Other than that, carrying heavy things causes muscle pain to the elderly group. ALC aims to fabricate a trolley for users to move things using less energy. Besides that, to innovate trolley which has Arduino programming to control the movement of ALC. Next, to test the functionality of the product. To test whether ALC saves time and is more stable than other trolley. ALC uses 12V battery, Arduino programming. ALC combines rocker bogie mechanism. 6, 12V motor 14kgfcm is attached to a lightweight frame with dimension 45cmx70cm dimension. Estimated weight that ALC could carry is 20kg. The 12V battery last 2-4 hours before having to charge again. Improvement that can be done to the Automated Luggage Carrier (ALC) is include a GPS application. Besides that, increase the capacity of weight carried by ALC to above 20kg. Other improvement that can be done to the ALC is increasing the lasting duration of battery when ALC is being used before having to charge again.
