Jordan from Standard Cognition here (that's a video of our autonomous checkout system). From what we've read about Amazon it sounds like we're approaching things very differently. Amazon uses sensor fusion, including lots of non-vision sensors (floor sensors, shelf sensors, potentially RFID as a supplemental signal). We do everything from ceiling cameras, nothing else. That makes the system harder to build, but much easier to deploy to lots of existing stores. Amazon's solution requires a hefty remodeling.
- hbosch 9y agoYour comment intrigued me, so I found this article: https://www.recode.net/2018/1/21/16913984/what-does-photos-amazon-jeff-bezos-seattle-new-no-cashier-line-grocery-story-amazon-go https://www.recode.net/2018/1/21/16913984/what-does-photos-a... I don't think there can be any floor sensors there. There may be inventory-counting shelf sensors, I have no idea. There definitely isn't RFID. Looks like massive camera arrays in the ceiling.
