Shift it! Delivery Cart System: Update #1

Delivery Cart System - Blog #1

For my project I will be making a delivery cart system. It will deliver parts from the stockroom to the benches that require the items. The cart will be line following based with specific stop locations. The cart will only stop at a location if it is chosen by the person in the stockroom.

For my project, there will be a possibility of 4 different stops to make before returning to the stockroom. When the cart arrives at any of the stops, it will notify the person there to unload it. When the parts are unloaded, it will continue its mission. The cart will have ultrasonic sensors, so it won’t run into anyone standing in its way. If there is someone in its way, it will notify them to move.

A basic layout of my idea is below, I will be posting a lot more on how this will be put together with code.

With the TE Connectivity supplied kit, I will be using a lot of the parts for this project.

I want to thank TE Connectivity for their generous sponsor kit and for sponsoring this challenge.

    Hi dixonselvan , I am planning on using line sensors. When a specific sensor picks up a line, the cart will stop. I really like the RFID/NFC tag idea!!

    Hi dwinhold , good idea! I'm simply curious on how the system would identify the stop locations. Are you planning any RFID/ NFC tag based stops?

    If I understood your idea correctly, you will be using the line sensors towards the corner to pick up the extra side line which are there at the stops. But I'm doubting similar effect could be there while the cart is turning and it could stop!
