Abstract: Recently researches and many developments were going in the field of automation and embedded systems to develop and reduce the work of the manpower in industry as well as in public domain areas like Railway station (automatic ticket collection), Metro bus (online reservation), Flight (Auto Pilot mode) etc. To develop more Automation in and to help the blind people, old age and handicapped person we proposed a technique named as automatic trolley carrier navigation and the billing system. This method can be implemented in all shopping malls, big clothing shop, house hold appliances shops etc. It avoids the people to stand in a big queue and automatic billing can be done. Moreover it helps blind people, old age people, Handicapped Persons in the shopping malls make them to purchase in shopping malls by informing about the location of the product, quantity, price and automatic billing etc. The arrangement of the trolley consists of the robotic structure and servo motor which makes the trolley to navigate and tell way of location of the product availability and price based on the user input. The user gives the command through the Bluetooth. Then the keypad passes the customer product information to the Micro-controller then the trolley moves automatically. The use of RFID reader is to scan the EPIC tag ID of all products to Identify the name, price, Quantity of the products. Depending on the RF signal from the RFID -reader, it passes the information to the micro – controller and from that it identify the product and display the name, Quantity, price of the each product in the LCD display. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the any obstacles as well as the object.

Keywords: RFID, Ultra Sonic Sensor, DC Servo Motor and Bluetooth.
