Robot suitcase moves itself so you don't have to carry luggage - and it will even keep you company

The suitcase can travel at different speeds - and will follow you around the airport dodging obstacles as you make a last-minute dash for your flight

A robot suitcase that can move itself and follow you around the airport will mean that you never have to carry your luggage again.
The incredible device will stick close to you as you make a last-minute dash for your flight - as fast as 6.75mph - and is smart enough to be able to navigate obstacles and crowds.
And if that wasn't enough, the Travelmate suitcase will also double as your travel partner - you can even name it, if you choose to.
The robot works in a similar way to autopilot systems in vehicles like Tesla cars.

The Travelmate suitcase will follow you around everywhere
It automatically finds the best route and analyses the most effective way to move forward.
The robot suitcase will also understand if you've lost it, or if it has been stolen and will take appropriate measures to get back to its owner.
Travelmate is also fitted with GPS, so by using an app on your phone, you will be able to track its location at all times.

It can change speeds and will avoid obstacles and crowds

The company promises that the case will never lose you
A spokesman for the company said: "We've made a robot that can learn on the fly in real time, navigate complicated obstacles and even become something that you trust and have affection for.

"We've made a robot that doesn't look like something from Terminator or from the Matrix. Instead, it's a practical companion that helps you and acts as an extension of yourself. One that you have full control of.
"We've created a robot with a form that is comfortable, in the sense that it's easy to travel with it and it will carry your belongings for you.
