There's no doubt automated checkouts can save time - but all it takes is one unexpected item in your bagging area to completely ruin your shopping trip.
So say hello to Reji Robo, the new system being rolled out across Japan that scans and bags all of your items for you, with no fuss or delays.
The checkout, made by Panasonic, uses tiny radio-frequency ID tags attached to each item to tally up what's in your basket at the end of your shop.
All shoppers have to do is select what they want from the shelves and then place their basket in the bagging area, with the checkout doing the rest.
The bottom of the basket drops away as all the items are fed into a carrier bag and then passed back to you.
A screen displays each item in the basket, and give you the total price for the shop.
