ABSTRACT

Nowadays most of the customer needs to wait in the supermarket for shopping because it is a highly time-consuming process. A huge rush in the supermarket at the time of holidays or weekends makes trouble to wait in long queues because of a barcode-based billing process. This project helps the visually impaired people in collecting their groceries. Raspberry pi is deployed in the robot module (trolley) along with RFID reader, headset, motors. The voice of the customer (section where the person wants to go) is taken as input and this input is communicated via Bluetooth to Raspberry pi. According to the requirement, the Raspberry will provide the command to driver IC, which in turn will drive the motors to that particular direction. Each items will have RFID tags. Whenever an item is picked and dropped into the trolley, the RFID reader will read the tag. This will be communicated to Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi will provide audio output (item name and its price) through headset to the person. Also, all the items that are in trolley are recorded in IOT and are printed at the bill section.
