Download Electronic Luggage Follower (ELF) - Florida International University

either left or right, the luggage will rapidly move to the corresponding side so
that no force is required by the user. The biggest challenge in this system is to
control the forward and stopping motion. As the user pulls the rope a little, the
sensor must be activated and the luggage must go forward.
Clients intended:
This product can apply to anyone and everyone that has the need of
dragging a luggage on a flat surface. However, to be specific, the follower bag
may be directed exactly to women, old people, kids and lazy or busy people.
The objective is to drag a luggage using no force at all, that is why our clients are
based on weak people. Busy people are also taken into account since most of
the time they have their hands busy, whether it is with cell phones, books, or
anything else.
