Hop: Would You Buy A Robotic Suitcase That Doesn’t Need To Be Carried Around?

A robotic suitcase has been designed that follows travellers around, removing the need for them to carry their luggage.

Hop: Would You Buy A Robotic Suitcase That Doesn't Need To Be Carried Around?
Though it isn’t clear how it might react if you are running to catch a flight but a young inventor has come up with a ‘robotic’ suitcase that requires no carrying.
The suitcase, called Hop, is self-driving and allows travellers to walk unburdened by the weight of their bags. The prototype connects to a Bluetooth signal from its owner’s phone and rolls after it, a short but constant distance behind. If the signal is lost – a real possibility should the traveller have to run for a flight – the suitcase locks to make itself secure.
It then makes the phone vibrate, alerting the owner to the fact it has stopped. The bags can be programmed to follow each other in a line and there are hopes that they could one day replace the need for conveyor belts and luggage carts in airports…..watch the video below

Travelling with robotic suitcases is the latest trend amongst the younger generation. Parents with toddlers have also joined in on the fun because it also creates an avenue for the kids to ride around the airport while waiting for their flights.

However, nothing beats travelling light. If you are the type who lives the ”breakfast in paris, dinner in London” lifestyle, you can still travel without the burden of a bag. Simply drop your luggage off at a luggage storage facility. Luggage storage Amsterdam Centraal is a very popular option if you are travelling to the Netherlands.
