Amazon Go /Big Basket Smart Machine - Tech Analysis

Amazon Go
  • QR Code for user account linking
  • Pick items, Auto detected
  • Multiple validation points (Video Object Detection, Shelf Weight sensor-based confirmation, RFID reads etc)
  • Multiple RFID readers to capture item movement across ISLEs
Cons
  • Massive surveillance 
  • Real-time computation
IMO, Big Basket Smart Machine is also similar to the implementation
  • QR Code for user account linking
  • Pick and Buy
  • Mobile App integration 
  • Weight Sensors used to detect Shelf Item Quantity
  • Unique Items in each row. It is not mixed
Since its a standalone machine, it will not need any tracking with RFID / Video camera. Only Weight sensors sufficient and it is a single person operated at a time.

Happy Learning!!!
