A team of 4 electrical engineering students presented their smart shopping cart project. Their cart scans items as customers add them and allows payment at checkout to speed billing. It uses a Raspberry Pi, barcode scanner, touchscreen, and load cell. Features include manager controls, ads, search, and reports. They received positive feedback from local malls and linked carts to a central server. Future work includes improved GUI, anti-theft techniques, and a product prototype.

3. Problem Statement
The problems we are facing in today's shopping malls are:
• Long waiting time for the billing process as the
customer has to place all the items at the counter for
scanning. This makes the checkout process very slow.
• Involvement of a lot of labour for scanning and billing
process.
