Whether it’s filling your trolley with essentials or navigating the check-out queue, differently abled people can find it hard to navigate supermarkets. A robot prototype by four electrical and computer engineering students from Abu Dhabi could soon improve their shopping experience.
With a robotic arm and lifting mechanism controlled by a remote joystick, the D1Cart aims to offer a greater degree of independence for the UAE’s people of determination, who may otherwise be unable to reach items on high supermarket shelves. Developed by students from Abu Dhabi University (ADU), the cart features a control system that can be adjusted for speed, accuracy and precision, while an automated scanning system helps avoid queues at the cashier.
