Design And Implementation Of Smart Shopping Basket

The purpose of this project is to provide a handsfree and hassle-free shopping experience to the user in the supermarket who suffers from the problems such as having chaotic time moving the baskets, overcrowding at one place for a certain product on sale, theft, spending a very long time standing in the queue in the counter for bill payment, etc. The project follows the user as per the command given in the smartphone application provided along with the smart shopping basket and installed on his phone. Customer will receive the total net amount of the bill he has to pay in the same application. The basket consists of the Bluetooth module to connect with the user's smartphone through which the basket's movements are commanded over. The basket also avoids coming in contact with any obstacles that it faces by taking deviation while following its user using ultrasonic sensors. Each product the user puts inside the basket is read using RFID technology, where each data is sent to the supermarket's server for a total billing of items the user wishes to buy. The total bill amount is sent to the user installed application so that customer can use any online payment applications available to complete his payment.
