Thanks to
this new hands free suitcase,carrying around heavy
luggage may soon
become a thing of the
ed by Israeli company NUA Robotics,this “smart”
suitcase can follow you everywhere you
go.
The carry-on suitcase,currently a
prototype(
雏形
),connects to a
smartphone app
via has a
built-
in camera sensor that can “see”
you and follow you
around on flat
surfaces like airport comes with an anti-theft
alarm to
prevent someone carrying it
away
when you’re not looking,and it has
a backup(备用
)
battery that
you can use to charge all your devices.
“It can follow and carry things for
people around while communicating with their
smartphone,and avoiding
obstacles,”explained Alex Libman,founder of NUA
Ro
botics.“We’re combining
sensor network,computer vision,and if you
download our app(
应用),press
the ‘follow me’ button,the luggage recognizes its
user
and knows to follow and
communicate.”
NUA is still
testing the device and trying to improve features
like speed and
customization(
客户订制
),but they hope to make the
suitcase available to customers in
a
year’s it proves successful,they want to use the
bluetooth pairing
technology to
automate lots of other devices,like shopping carts
at the
devices are especially meant to
be useful to the physically
disabled
and elderly.“Any object can be smart and
robotic,”Libman told
Mashable.“We want
to bring robots into everyday life.”
The Israeli tech company made it clear
that the finished product will look just
like a regular ’re planning to partner
with a carry
-on luggage
maker,since the device that makes it
“smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be
fitted on old-fashion luggage.
With NUA’s smart suitcase,carrying
around heavy luggage isn’t a how
their
invention will handle tough obstacles like
stairs?It will be interesting to
wait.
