N2 - This paper discusses the design and development of a prototype working model of an automated shopping cart. The project aims to make shopping easier, especially for the elderly. In addition, this shopping cart promotes sustainability by completely eliminating the paper used for billing and plastic used as take away bags. The shopping cart is fitted with a camera connected to a Raspberry Pi module. It also consists of an inbuilt barcode scanner attached to a NodeMCU module that enables billing to be carried out by the customer and the final bill is sent to the central billing system using Wi-Fi communication technology. The trolley also has a weight tracking system that helps prevent possible theft. Upon exiting the shopping arena, the trolley follows the customer until his vehicle, and then it can be set into a mode where it returns to its designated location using a five infrared (IR) line follower array sensor mechanism.
