A typical Amazon store that I've been to is around 12,000—16,000 feet. A refrigerator is approx 20-25 cubic feet of real estate.

Miniaturization of any system is always going to be a massive hurdle.

Amazon uses biometric recognition to determine if a person has picked up something, RFID tags, Weight Sensors, cameras, Laser gates and probably some other things they aren't telling us about.

They also know a specific list of the items in the store and have 3d models for where each item is. nothing unexpected.

For the fridge to work it would need to know every product ever made and have accurate and reliable scans of the existing product. Sure it might be able to find SOME of the same type of item but it will only work once it can find the EXACT item that I want everytime.

Good luck finding my favorite brand of Guachujung that can't be purchased online and is only available from a shady mom and pop grocery in Asia town.

LASTLY... what's a camera going to do with this:

Nah you will just get 45 additional fridges and you will have predefined places for all the products. Then the "AI" will work

Well, obviously that's one package of Tillamook ice cream, what's the problem?
