Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatus of an automated and self-service kiosk that allows customers to select inventory items available from the kiosk and walk or move away with selected inventory item(s) without having to process payment, identify the inventory item(s), or provide any other form of checkout. After a customer has picked one or more items and departed the kiosk, the picked items are determined and the customer charged for the items. For example, one or more of detected weight changes measured at the kiosk and/or images generated at the kiosk may be used to identify items picked by the customer from the kiosk.
