Abstract
This disclosure is directed to item-identifying carts that may be utilized by users in material handling facilities to automatically identify items that the users place in their carts as they move around the material handling facilities. In addition, these carts may automatically determine the outcome of respective events that occur with respect to these identified items. For example, the carts may be configured to identify one or more items that are placed into or removed from the cart, and thereafter determine one or more actions taken with respect to the identified items and a quantity of the items involved.
