Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. It is world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. Simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)
The idea is that Amazon’s machine learning technology can automatically identify when a product is added to your cart hence you don’t have to do it yourself. When you leave the store, Amazon automatically charges your Amazon account.
AMAZON GO! HOW DOES IT WORK?
Amazon Go works by using computer vision and sensors to detect what items you are taking out of the store. You start by scanning an app as you enter the Amazon Go shop. You do your normal shopping, and the sensors throughout the store identify the items in your cart. When you walk out the door, Amazon automatically charges your account for the items. It will feel like shoplifting, except more cameras than you can imagine are actually watching you.
Furthermore, Checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Just walk out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves. In addition, it will also keep track of them in a virtual cart. When you are done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, it will charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
