Five Elements Robotics Announces the Launch of DASH, the Robotic Shopping Cart

The Future of Shopping is Here!

Five Elements Robotics announces the launch of the Dash Robotic Shopping Cart. The Dash Robotic Shopping cart is a fully autonomous cart designed to efficiently lead customers through the store. Equipped with a shopping list that the customer inputs, Dashs autonomous navigation and planning software safely and efficiently leads the customer through the store.


The Dash Robotic Shopping cart will help increase revenues for store owners by ensuring that the customer gets what they came for. As an added benefit to increase sales, historical and current purchase data can be used by the store owner to provide targeted advertising on the Dash Display. Retailers can also program key waypoints for featured displays and promotions so that the Dash cart brings the shoppers to these targeted displays. The end result is increased the customer basket size (i.e. purchases per visit) and greater customer loyalty.

Key Features of the Dash Robotic Shopping Cart include:

Customizable, intuitive user interface
Checkout on-board to pay for items in the cart using credit cards, Apple Pay or Google Wallet
After payment, the cart takes the customers items to their car then returns itself to the store, ready for the next customer
Available integration with existing shopping apps and point-of-sale systems
Integrated security and loss prevention features to reduce and prevent theft and fraud, plus ability to integrate with the stores security system
Included Docking Station for Automatic Recharging
"The Dash Robotic Shopping cart will absolutely transform the way we do shopping. Once these robots are in the stores, we will not be able to imagine how we ever shopped without them", says CEO Wendy Roberts.

Featured Product

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
