Abstract
A system including a modular shopping structure is disclosed. The structure includes a compartment including a plurality of shelves for storing a plurality of items. Each shelf may include a front portion and a back portion. The compartment may further include a tray receiving area disposed in proximity to the back portion of the shelves. The tray receiving area may include a plurality of trays for receiving and temporarily storing the items. The structure may further include a robotic system including one or more robotic arms connected via one or more rails. The robotic arms may pick one or more items from the trays and place the items to the shelves via their back portions. The shelves may automatically slide the placed items to the front portions.
