Design of Smart Unstaffed Retail Shop Based on IoT and Artificial Intelligence

Unstaffed retail shops have emerged recently and been noticeably changing our shopping styles. In terms of these shops, the design of vending machine is critical to user shopping experience. The conventional design typically uses weighing sensors incapable of sensing what the customer is taking. In...

Design of Smart Unstaffed Retail Shop Based on IoT and Artificial Intelligence
description Unstaffed retail shops have emerged recently and been noticeably changing our shopping styles. In terms of these shops, the design of vending machine is critical to user shopping experience. The conventional design typically uses weighing sensors incapable of sensing what the customer is taking. In the present study, a smart unstaffed retail shop scheme is proposed based on artificial intelligence and the internet of things, as an attempt to enhance the user shopping experience remarkably. To analyze multiple target features of commodities, the SSD (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$300\times 300$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) algorithm is employed; the recognition accuracy is further enhanced by adding sub-prediction structure. Using the data set of 18, 000 images in different practical scenarios containing 20 different type of stock keeping units, the comparison experimental results reveal that the proposed SSD (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$300\times 300$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) model outperforms than the original SSD (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$300\times 300$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) in goods detection, the mean average precision of the developed method reaches 96.1&#x0025; on the test dataset, revealing that the system can make up for the deficiency of conventional unmanned container.
