The proposed model is designed to provide a better service for patients, kids and aged people. It consists of a trolley provided with DC Geared Motors which is controlled through an Android Application. This makes the aged person or the needy partially independent. The model is built with Arduino Uno Controller, Bluetooth module (BCM92073X_LE_KIT) and a suitable Android Application. The heart of the proposed work is Arduino Uno Controller which controls the geared DC motors through L298D driver. The trolley is designed with a buzzer which beeps, once the destination is reached. In case of any obstacle on the path or an individual, again there's a beep and continues to move towards the destination after the individual is passed. The trolley will return back in the travelled path after a fixed time of service. The metal mounted on the ground decides the path for the trolley to travel. The operation provided being a simple one, a child can also operate this module, initiating a better quality tech based service. This design can also be used in hospitals that make the people independent to get the needs of patient time to time.

Abstract


The proposed model is designed to provide a better service for patients, kids and aged people. It consists of a trolley provided with DC Geared Motors which is controlled through an Android Application. This makes the aged person or the needy partially independent. The model is built with Arduino Uno Controller, Bluetooth module (BCM92073X_LE_KIT) and a suitable Android Application. The heart of the proposed work is Arduino Uno Controller which controls the geared DC motors through L298D driver. The trolley is designed with a buzzer which beeps, once the destination is reached. In case of any obstacle on the path or an individual, again there's a beep and continues to move towards the destination after the individual is passed. The trolley will return back in the travelled path after a fixed time of service. The metal mounted on the ground decides the path for the trolley to travel. The operation provided being a simple one, a child can also operate this module, initiating a better quality tech based service. This design can also be used in hospitals that make the people independent to get the needs of patient time to time.
