Smart Shopping Robot for Supermarkets using Dijkstra’s Algorithm with user Interface

The growing trend and requirement of robots assisting humans in their surroundings have been explored considerably. Recently, the area of autonomous mobile robots increased the demand for various types of applications such as enhancing the physical mobility of elders, assisting in the transportation of products, and providing precise information for the user in a more intelligent manner. Moreover, some studies have addressed the idea of developing intelligent shopping robots. These robots are designed and developed to interact with customers. This paper presents an intelligent shopping robot. The main features of the robot are that it will display product information, estimated time required to collect the products, and it will collect all the products which are ordered. This intelligent shopping robot gives priority to improve space utilization, increase energy conservation, effective time management and the automation of existing supermarkets without an additional expensive renovation.
