How this Luggage Company has created the Innovative Suitcase of the Future

Travel tech has been focused on mainly two things: giving travelers the ability to track the location of their suitcases and providing a backup battery for the many modern devices travelers carry.

However, one company is taking it a step further – the suitcase follows you where you lead!

The fact is that any object can be smart and robotic, and many companies are trying to bring robots into everyday life.

The luggage company Bluesmart raised more than 2 million Dollars on Indiegogo for a suitcase that can be tracked via smartphone provides battery backup and can even tell travelers the weight of the suitcase. But, this NUA Robotics suitcase is upping the bar in smart technology. It uses a camera sensor as well as Bluetooth pairing through an app to know where its owner is, this is how it follows you along.

While it is still in its testing phase, the company hopes to make a version of the suitcase available to consumers in about a year.

The technology itself could be useful for a number of objects beyond suitcases, such as a shopping trolley.

While pushing a trolley around or carrying your suitcase doesn’t seem like the biggest inconvenience in the world, the technology could prove especially useful with people with disabilities and the elderly.

Who knew five years ago that we would be pushing a button on our phones and our suitcase would follow us around like a puppy.
