Development of Intelligent Shopping Cart using Pixy Sensor with Arduino Controller

Abstract

Supermarkets have virtually reached the pinnacle of technical development. People buy various things from supermarkets and place them on a trolley since this is the most convenient way to transport goods in supermarkets. Customers, on the other hand, must actively push the enormous weight of the trolley during the whole buying procedure. We introduce a novel concept "Intelligent Shopping Cart" in this research. Customers may enjoy their shopping experience and focus more on their shopping list by using this trolley instead of pushing a shopping cart. It will follow the customer throughout the shopping period leaving a certain distance. If the customer stops then the trolley will also stop at maintained distance by using sharp IR sensor.
