SHOPPING GUIDING WITH ROBOT ASSISTANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18561540 titled 'SHOPPING GUIDING WITH ROBOT ASSISTANCE

The abstract describes a shopping guiding system with robot assistance that optimizes the picking up of commodities based on predicted costs.

A shopping list of a customer is obtained, containing multiple items to be picked up.
A first set of commodities is determined based on predicted picking up costs, and robots are assigned to pick up these items automatically.
Robots are assigned based on the relative high picking up costs of commodities, increasing efficiency and reducing safety risks.

Potential Applications: - Retail stores - Grocery stores - Warehouse management

Problems Solved: - Inefficient shopping processes - Safety risks associated with manual picking up of items

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in shopping - Reduced safety risks for customers and employees - Improved inventory management

Commercial Applications: - Implementation in retail chains for automated shopping assistance - Integration into warehouse systems for optimized picking processes

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system predict picking up costs for commodities? 2. What types of robots are typically used in this system?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing developments in robotic technology for improved efficiency in shopping processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

A shopping guiding with robot assistance. A shopping list () of a customer () is obtained, wherein the shopping list () comprises a plurality of commodities to be picked up. Further, a first set of commodities () are determined from the plurality of commodities based on predicted picking up costs for the plurality of commodities, and at least one robot () are assigned for automatically picking up the first set of commodities (). As such, at least one robot () may be assigned for picking up commodities with a relative high picking up cost, thereby increasing the efficiency for shopping and decreasing the safety risks.
