Claim 4:
5. A system comprising:
a first closure mechanism for controlling access to an area;
a first input device in communication with the first closure mechanism;
a container comprising a first chamber, a second chamber, a second closure mechanism that separates the first chamber from an exterior of the container, and a third closure mechanism that separates the first chamber from the second chamber;
a second input device in communication with the second closure mechanism;
a weight sensor associated with the container, wherein the weight sensor is configured to determine weights of items within the first chamber;
an output device within the area, wherein the output device includes one or more of a display device or an audio device;
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and
one or more hardware processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
receive first data from the first input device;
determine first correspondence between the first data and an order associated with a first item;
in response to the first data, cause the first closure mechanism to open to provide access to the area;
receive second data from the second input device;
determine second correspondence between the second data and the first item;
in response to the second data, cause the second closure mechanism to open to provide access to the container;
receive sensor data from the weight sensor, wherein the sensor data indicates a weight associated with one or more objects in the container;
determine third correspondence between the weight and item data that associates the first item with the weight; and
in response to the third correspondence, generate data indicative of placement of the first item within the container and provide output indicative of a return of the first item to the output device.
