Abstract
This disclosure is directed to an item-identifying, mobile cart that may be utilized by a user in a materials handling facility to automatically identify items that the user places into a basket of the cart. The cart may include cameras for detecting activity near a basket of the cart, such as a user placing an item into the basket. The cart or a computing device communicatively coupled to the cart may use a trained machine-learning model to identify the activity, and may improve the accuracy of the model over time using real-world data of users operating carts in respective facilities.
