Description

The proposed project is an Intelligent Lazy Susan which uses hand sensors to automatically start rotating the turntable on the top. When using the lazy susan you have to manually rotate it to use it at the moment. The Intelligent Lazy Susan would use hand sensors to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. This will allow people to place their hands close to the sensor instead of having to rotate it themselves. This will be made possible by photoresistors, which are sensitive to light. When a person’s hand gets closer to the left sensor it will rotate clockwise then when it gets closer to the right sensor it will rotate counterclockwise. It will automatically start rotating when a hand gets close to the sensor.

This project will be able to address multiple concerns and issues with mobility and any messes that cause someone’s hands to be dirty. One address of concern is that if someone is eating then they will not have to touch the turntable to get more food. The person can put their hand close to the sensor then it will turn but they will only have to touch the food instead of both. Another problem that the project addresses are the hand sensors can provide assistance to individuals with disabilities that limit their ability to have hand movement. The hand sensors create a solution by implementing a system that does not require a person to physically touch the turntable.
