Abstract
Smart supermarkets are a recent innovation that allows customers to have a seamless shopping experience. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a key component of smart supermarkets. Take AmazonGo as an example, it successfully implements cashier-less store checkout. However, many staff members are still required to support the running of the supermarket. Labor is always a big cost. In this paper, we propose a hybrid solution for smart supermarkets based on actuator networks as well as IoT, in order to save labor costs and to serve customers effectively and efficiently.
