Amazon has revealed plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app.
亚马逊已经公布了开设无需结账的食品杂货店的计划,顾客将通过应用程序为他们选择的商品付款。
The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars. The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley. Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them.
The Just Walk Out的购物体验利用了与自动驾驶汽车同样类型的技术。系统检测商品何时被取走或放回货架,并在虚拟购物车中追踪它们。一旦购物者离开商店,他们的亚马逊账户将进行结账并向他们发送收据。
The first shop is expected to open to the public in Seattle in the US in early 2017.
第一家商店预计将于2017年初在美国西雅图向公众开放。
"Grocery retail is a crowded sector, and customers have incredibly high expectations of the Amazon brand," said Natalie Berg, an analyst at Planet Retail.
Planet Retail的分析师Natalie Berg说:“杂货零售业是一个密集的行业,顾客对亚马逊品牌的期望非常高。”

Customers will walk into the store using the Go app. It will use computer vision, sensors and deep learning algorithms to keep track of what customers are picking up off the shelves.
顾客将使用Go应用程序进入商店。它将使用计算机视觉、传感器和深度学习算法来追踪顾客在货架上取走的商品。
Amazon has spent four years developing the shop.

"Despite significant investment in store technology, the checkout experience has been largely ignored," said Berg.
Berg说:“尽管在商店技术方面进行了大量投资,但是结账的经验基本上被忽略了。”
The shop will offer ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by on-site chefs or by local kitchens and bakeries.
该店将提供由现场服务的厨师或当地厨房和面包店每天新鲜烹制的即食早餐、午餐、晚餐和小吃。
