AUTO-BILLING SMART CART_IJARIIE

Electrical Engineering

This paper explores the innovative integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of a smart cart for retail and shopping environments. The proposed AI-based smart cart’s incorporates advanced features such as product theft detection, auto-billing, and person-following capabilities to enhance the shopping experience and streamline the checkout process. The auto-billing feature leverages AI-powered sensors and cameras to automatically scan barcodes or RFID tags on products as they are placed in the cart. This eliminates the need for manual scanning at the checkout counter, reducing wait times and enhancing overall shopping efficiency. The system calculates the total bill in real time, offering a seamless and hassle-free payment experience. The product theft detection feature utilizes computer vision and AI algorithms to monitor the items placed in the Cart. Infrared sensors and image recognition technology work in tandem to identify discrepancies between items added to the cart and those scanned during checkout. Suspicious activities trigger real-time alerts, mitigating the risk of theft and enhancing store security. Furthermore, the person-following capability integrates AI algorithms and sensor technology to enable the cart to autonomously navigate through the store, following the shopper as they move. This hands-free navigation simplifies the shopping process, particularly for elderly or physically challenged individuals. The AI ensures safe and collision-free movement, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
