Is This The Future of Travel? A Robot Suitcase That Powers Itself...

Sound interesting? Or just plain crazy? Well we think the robotics team that have developed the ‘Travelmate’ might just be on to something but we reckon it’s their marketing that is letting them down.

All the videos and advertising supporting this cutting edge new design is aimed at the young and the beautiful and while it’s true that the case comes with a slew of 21st century features, we think it is the more mature generation that would really benefit from this new technology.

Imagine not having to carry your shopping home from the supermarket? Or being able to programme it to follow you around with a tray of tea? It would act like a robot butler. Following you through the airport is it’s most simple function – it can actually weigh the luggage you are putting in it and alert you when you up to your limit!

With voice intergration you don’t even need to mess around with a complicated digital interface. Just tell it what you want it to do and hey presto! Taxi at your holiday airport waiting to meet you on arrival and a restaurant booked! It’s like Alexa on boosters!

And the best thing about the Travelmate Robot suitcase? If you lose it… it will find you!

Play the video below and see whether you’re convinced. At a starting price of $399 it might well be a good investment for your future…
