Hy-Tech Shopping Cart Using Object Detection and Human Following Technology

摘要

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics have transformed the retail industry, leading to innovative solutions that enhance the shopping experience. Our paper presents the High-Tech Shopping Cart, an intelligent system that leverages object detection and human-following technology to provide a seamless, hands-free shopping experience. The cart utilizes state-of-the-art object detection algorithms to identify and track items selected by shoppers while employing a robust human-following mechanism to navigate autonomously through stores. Our system integrates computer vision techniques, sensor fusion, and advanced path-planning algorithms within a modular framework, featuring cameras and depth sensors for real-time processing. Extensive experiments demonstrate high accuracy in object detection and reliable navigation in complex environments. User satisfaction surveys indicate a positive reception, highlighting the cart's potential to significantly enhance the shopping experience.
