  • Patent number: 12646324
    Abstract: An automated checkout system accesses an image of an item inside a shopping cart and a location of the shopping cart within a store. The automated checkout system identifies a set of candidate items located within a threshold distance of the location of the shopping cart based on an item map. The item map describes a location of each item within the store and the location of each candidate item corresponds to a location of the candidate item on the item map. The automated checkout system inputs visual features of the item extracted from the image to a machine-learning model to identify the item by determining a similarity score between the item and each candidate item of the set of candidate items. After identifying the item, the automated checkout system displays a list comprising the item and additional items within the shopping cart to a user.

  • Publication number: 20260138660
    Abstract: An automated checkout system uses a shopping cart that is automatically charged when stacked into another shopping cart. Each shopping cart has a front charging connector and a rear charging connector. When a first shopping cart is stacked into a second shopping cart, the front charging connector of the first shopping cart connects with the rear charging connector of the second shopping cart. Electrical power can flow to the first shopping cart via the second shopping cart to charge a battery of the first shopping cart. The second shopping cart may be similarly stacked into a third shopping cart, wherein the second shopping cart receives electrical power from the third shopping cart. The second shopping cart may use this electrical power to charge its own battery or may provide some or all of the electrical power to the first shopping cart to charge the first shopping cart's battery.

  • Publication number: 20260134414
    Abstract: A smart shopping cart includes internally facing cameras and an integrated scale to identify objects that are placed in the cart. To avoid unnecessary processing of images that are irrelevant, and thereby save battery life, the cart uses the scale to detect when an object is placed in the cart. The cart obtains images from a cache and sends those to an object detection machine learning model. The cart captures and sends a load curve as input to the trained model for object detection. Labeled load data and labeled image data are used by a model training system to train the machine learning model to identify an item when it is added to the shopping cart. The shopping cart also uses weight data and the image data from a timeframe associated with the addition of the item to the cart as inputs.

  • Publication number: 20260065221
    Abstract: Disclosed are technologies for generating training data for identification neural networks. Series of images are captured of a plurality of merchandise items from different angles and with different background assortments of other merchandise items. A labeled training dataset is generated for the plurality of merchandise items. The series of captured images is normalized, where the merchandise occupies a threshold percentage of pixels in the normalized image. The training dataset is extended by applying augmentation operations to the normalized images to generate a plurality of augmented images. Each image is stored in the training dataset as a unique training data point for the given merchandise item it depicts. Labels are generated mapping each training data point to attributes associated with the depicted merchandise item. Input neural networks are trained on the labeled training dataset to perform real-time identification of selected merchandise items placed into a self-checkout apparatus by a user.

  • Publication number: 20250371494
    Abstract: An online concierge system may use images received from shopping carts within retailers to determine the availability of items within those retailers. A shopping cart includes externally-facing cameras that automatically capture images of the area around the shopping cart as the shopping cart travels through a retailer. The online concierge system receives these images, which depict displays within the retailers from which a picker or a retailer patron can collect items. The online concierge system determines which items should be depicted in the images and which items are actually depicted in the images. The online concierge system identifies which items should be depicted, but are not depicted, and determines that these items are unavailable (e.g., out of stock) at that retailer. The online concierge system updates an availability database to indicate that these items are unavailable and may notify the retailer that the item is unavailable.

  • Publication number: 20250322289
    Abstract: A smart shopping cart includes a load sensor to measure the weight of items added to the cart. To avoid waiting for the load sensor to converge, a detection system predicts the weight of items added to the storage area of a smart shopping cart based on the shape of a load curve output by the load sensor when an item is added to the cart. The detection system receives load data from the load sensor, detects that an item was added to the storage area of the shopping cart during a time period and identifies a set of load measurements captured by the load sensor during the time period. The set of load measurements comprise a load curve, to which the detection system applies a weight prediction model to generate a predicted weight of the added item.
