Introduction
In the modern retail landscape, enhancing the shopping experience through innovative
technology has become a key focus. The Smart Shopping Cart is a pioneering project designed
to automate and streamline the shopping process. This project involves an Arduino-based
human/object following cart equipped with various sensors and components, enabling it to
autonomously navigate and assist shoppers.

Objectives
The primary objectives of this project are:
1. To create a shopping cart that can follow the shopper autonomously.

2. To integrate sensors and motors to ensure smooth and accurate movement.
3. To enhance the shopping experience by reducing the effort required to maneuver the cart.

Components
The Smart Shopping Cart is built using the following components:

1. Arduino Uno: The central microcontroller that processes inputs from sensors and controls
the cart’s movement.
2. Motor Driver Shield:Manages the power supply and direction of the motors.
3. BO Motor & Wheel: Provides the mechanical movement for the cart.
4. Ultrasonic Sensor: Detects the distance to objects and the shopper, facilitating the following
mechanism.
5. Servo Motor:Controls the direction of the ultrasonic sensor for dynamic scanning.
6. IR Sensor:Helps in obstacle detection and avoidance.
7. Jumper Wire: Connects the various components to the Arduino board.
8. 18650 Battery:Powers the entire system.
9. Battery Pocket:Holds and secures the battery in place.
10. Sun Board:Acts as the chassis for the cart, providing a sturdy platform for mounting all
components.

Methodology
The development of the Smart Shopping Cart involves several key steps:

1. Component Integration:
- Mount the Arduino Uno, motor driver shield, and other components onto the sun board.
- Connect the BO motors and wheels to the motor driver shield.
- Attach the ultrasonic sensor to the servo motor for dynamic scanning capabilities.
- Position the IR sensors around the cart for obstacle detection.
- Secure the 18650 battery in the battery pocket and connect it to power the system.

2. Programming:
- Write the Arduino code to process sensor inputs and control the motors.

- Implement the following algorithm using the ultrasonic sensor to maintain a set distance
from the shopper.
- Program the servo motor to rotate the ultrasonic sensor, scanning for the shopper’s
position.
- Code the IR sensors to detect obstacles and navigate around them.

3. Testing and Calibration:


- Conduct tests to ensure accurate following behavior and obstacle avoidance.
- Calibrate the sensors for optimal performance in various shopping environments.
- Adjust the motor speed and responsiveness based on the test results.

Working Principle
The Smart Shopping Cart operates by continuously scanning its surroundings using the
ultrasonic sensor mounted on the servo motor. When a shopper is detected within a
pre-defined distance, the Arduino Uno processes this information and activates the BO motors
to move the cart towards the shopper. The IR sensors assist in detecting and avoiding
obstacles, ensuring smooth navigation within the store. The motor driver shield regulates the
power supply to the motors, allowing for precise control of the cart’s movement.

Applications
This Smart Shopping Cart can be utilized in various retail settings, including supermarkets,
department stores, and shopping malls. It significantly enhances the shopping experience by
reducing the physical effort required to push a cart, particularly benefiting elderly and
differently-abled customers.

Future Enhancements
Future iterations of the Smart Shopping Cart can include:
1. Integration of RFID technology for automated billing and checkout.
2. Implementation of a user-friendly interface for setting preferences and destinations within
the store.
3. Incorporation of advanced AI algorithms for improved shopper recognition and navigation.

Conclusion
The Smart Shopping Cart project demonstrates the potential of integrating Arduino technology
with everyday tools to create innovative and user-friendly solutions. By automating the
cart-following process, this project aims to revolutionize the shopping experience, making it
more convenient and enjoyable for all customers.
