ABSTRACT

Smart shopping system helps the visually impaired people in collecting their groceries. Raspberry pi is deployed in the robot module(trolly) along with RFID reader, headset, motors. The voice of the person (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. In the section, all items will have RFID tags. Whenever an item is picked and dropped into the trolly, the RFID reader will detect (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 trolly are recorded in Iot and are printed at the bill section.
