Abstract –It’s not long time we have witnessed Covid-19 pandemic. It has reemphasized on hygienic system wherever we are expecting lot many human interaction and intervention involved. Shopping is one such area. By introducing automation it can be assured with little intervention of human beings. Here is an idea of automated shopping system. Making use of proposed intelligent stacking and Robotic Basket. List of items available for shopping can be put on a display designed for the user to view the items available. User may enter the shopping list into the system, pay the bill and get the token. This data will be sent to the centralized management system. A queue of robotic baskets will make a free basket at that moment take the command and collect the said items and ensure quantity too. Robotic Basket will be able to perform certain specific functions. It will be able to move through the stacks of items and collect the products on its own. Once the product list along with quantity of each is given by the customer, the basket will join the Reception area flashing the token number. Human intervention in collecting the product from shopping center will not be there. The smart system will also tally whether the number of products given by the customer is equal to the products collected by the basket. When the job is executed by the basket, it may flash and announce the Token number and then they will receive the products and basket's job is done. The basket will contain pedal operated sanitizer dispenser. After customer collects the items shopped, the basket will enter the queue of waiting baskets. At the entrance of the queue, there will be sanitizer sprayer that will sanitize the newly coming basket after customer has collected items from it. This will be very beneficial for hands free shopping experiences, especially for elderly people, pregnant women and specially-able people.
