User assisting robot for shopping applications
A robot system includes a holding compartment configured to transport one or more items and an electronic control unit having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory including a machine-readable instruction set. The robot system further includes a camera for capturing image data of an environment of the holding compartment and a robotic arm each communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit. The machine-readable instruction set causes the processor to receive image data of the environment of the holding compartment from the camera, determine a set of handling instructions for an item collected by the robotic arm, determine a location within the holding compartment for placing the item collected by the robotic arm based on the image data of the environment of the holding compartment and the set of handling instructions, and manipulate the robotic arm to place the item within the holding compartment at the determined location.
STACKABLE TRUSSES FOR TRANSPORT AND SUPPORT OF APPLIANCES
An appliance-support system in accordance with the present disclosure includes a truss and a rolling support coupled to the truss. The truss is adapted to support an appliance, such as a light, and in combination with other trusses forms a scaffolding for use above an event stage, for example. The system includes collapsible aspects for ease of storage and stacking.
SHOPPING CART COVER
A versatile cover is described which can be secured onto a shopping cart, high chair, stroller or other similar seating apparatus. The cover is rollable into a low profile, shape with a handle, and can be unrolled to fit within a seat basket of a shopping cart or high chair.
Infant carrier transport
Infant carriers are stably supported and transported by being positioned on a frame set on wheels. The frame may include an infant carrier holder with a floor with a ramp and sidewalls. The infant carrier holder may be integral with the frame or may be mounted to a mounting device that can be adjusted for mounting angle or height. A handle is provided to the frame at a position that is suitable for a person in a wheelchair to grasp the frame and move the transport. A handle suitable for a standing person to grasp the frame may optionally be provided. The transport permits a person that may have difficulty carrying or transporting an infant carrier to more easily transport the infant carrier in a standing or a seated position, the latter as may be the case with a wheelchair occupant. The transport may be fastened to the wheelchair.
System and method for accurate weight measurement
Disclosed herein relates to a system, comprising: at least one load receiver mounted on a shopping cart or basket and configured to receive an item placed into the shopping cart or basket for a weighing operation; a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of parameters relating to the weighing operation of the item including at least one of: a relative angle between a force sensing axis of the at least one load receiver and a direction of gravity, a motion of the shopping cart or basket, and an ambient temperature surrounding the shopping cart or basket and the at least one load receiver; and a processor configured to determine an actual weight of the item based on at least a portion of the plurality of parameters.

Shopping list attachment and holder for a shopping cart or basket
A shopping cart list holder includes a central list backing support, a support neck, and a cart attachment. The list holder is adapted so that it is easy to attach to a shopping basket or shopping cart. The list holder is designed to hold one or more pieces of paper to the backing support so that the user does not have to fumble between his pockets and the shopping cart or basket for his shopping list. The list holder may also include holders for cell phones, tablets or pens.
SHOPPING AID
A shopping aid adapted to be secured to the side of a shopping cart comprises rear and outer panels joined to one another to define a plurality of pockets for receiving goods. Straps fitted with D-rings, hooks, side-squeeze fasteners or the like secure the shopping aid to the shopping cart. The rear panel may have a stiffening member sewn into its upper edge; this may comprise a length of woven webbing, and may be integral with the straps. The upper edge of the outer panel may comprise an elastic member.
Frame structure and trolley using frame structure
A frame structure includes a frame body and an auxiliary frame fixedly connected to the frame body. The frame body has a front bracket and a frame base. The lower end of the front bracket does not connect with the frame base. The upper end portion of the auxiliary frame is connected to the front bracket of the frame body, and the lower end of the auxiliary frame is connected to the frame base at the rear of front wheels of the frame. A trolley with the frame structure can prevent it from leaning forward or overturning, which increases security and stability.
