Introduction
• Sometimes we have to travel for many reasons (studying,
business, vacations, changing homestay, etc) and we need to take
our luggage with us in suitcases.
• The process of carrying luggage from place to another with long
distances is a little bit tiring for most of us and also very hard for
other.
• Loss of luggage can happen with anyone irrespective of the
circumstances and conditions so the luggage with important
documents or precious things can be lost or theft hence people
may lose their important material.
Aims of The Work
• Building a mobile robot which able to pursue a specific
person through airports or any place carrying the person’s
luggage.
• The suitcase has the concept of a mobile robot movement
but it is considered as completed follower suitcase more
than just a mobile robot.
• Design a luggage tracking system using Global Positioning
System (GPS) module.
Approached Methods
There are many methods that has already been approached
in this manner, some of these methods are:
• Ultrasonic based system
• Infrared light system
• Multi-Ultrasonic with AI system
• Compass / GPS system
General Definitions
• Location: latitude and longitude
• Direction: location and rotation angle
• Waypoint: is a point on a route or line of travel
• Self-Localization: a method for the robot to determine
its direction
• Headings: how to move from the current waypoint to
the next. That is represented by (rotation angel, distance)
compass/GPS Method
This method preformed through the following process
• Steering to First heading
• Navigation with GPS
• Getting from point A to B
Steering to First Heading
Before doing anything, the suitcase needs to know its position so that can
be accomplished by using GPS and compass
• The GPS gives a good information about location, unless the suitcase is
moving, it won’t be unable to determine in which direction it is.
• A good calibrated compass can determine the rotation of the suitcase.

Navigation with GPS
In this approach, two GPS are used one is the cell phone
GPS and the other in the suitcase box, the purpose form
this is to make tow points A and B navigate between
them
Fig. (2)
Getting from A to B
After localizing the suitcase position and specifying point A and B
now we need to know how to make the suitcase go toward the
direction of point B

DX = PointB.x – PointA.x angle in radians = atan2(DY, DX)
DY = PointB.y - PointA.y

Future Work
Due to the Current circumstances we decided
to make a prototype with the available kits
And program the main idea of our project
And that’s include
• Linking Arduino with Bylink
• Program the main functions and steps
descried earlier
Thank you
