Traveling can be many things. Whether it's your first flight to Cancun for your honeymoon, or just another business trip, flying can either be exciting or stressful.



But what dictates such things? Better yet, what helps our travels be much better? With their autonomous suitcase, Travelmate Robotics has completely changed traveling forever.

The All Seeing Suitcase



Creating the first truly capable autonomous suitcase that's able to operate in crowds and different environments, the Travelmate suitcase is a robot companion that travels with you.



If you're going to work, taking your kids to school, or if you're rushing to the airport gate, then you can count on Travelmate to allows be right beside you

"Travelmate is the first smart autonomous suitcase. It can move autonomously in both vertical and horizontal modes. Travelmate is smart enough to adjust to the speed that you're going at and it can easily maneuver through obstacles like crowds and uneven terrain. It also has an inaudible engine that is nonetheless powerful enough to carry or nudge along an extra suitcase for you. And if you're in a hurry, Travelmate can go up to 6.75 mph or 10.86 km/h."



A great example of the autonomous feature is that if someone suddenly runs in front of the suitcase, it quickly adjusts and avoids hitting that person.

The Bond Between Man and Luggage



"The smartphone application is developed in conjunction with the Travelmate suitcase, using information from the suitcases to constantly improve the autonomous functionality, similar to the autopilot feature on Tesla cars."



Having an integrated system that dynamically adjusts to new environments, its features are more advanced thanks to their smartphone application.

Directional turn signals and stop signals are some of the many beautiful functions that make this luggage worth it. In fact, they like to compare Travelmate to the development of smartphones.

"If you look at the evolution of mobile phones - they started out with a singular function and now we have smartphones that have thousands of capabilities. We want to bring the same type of innovation to suitcases."

Playing By The Rules and Reinventing Them



They've also showcased how Travelmate can be used in ways other than as a suitcase. You can attach a normal camera or VR camera to the suitcase and it'll film or take photographs for you. In effect, it can become your personal camera operator. Travelmate not only has marvelous features, but is also TSA compliant. Yes, you read that correctly.



The Travelmate has a smart lock system and you can take the S model with you as a carry on. It includes GPS chips which are used to locate your belongings. All you do is place a chip wherever you want and the Travelmate application will show you where that object is.

The Tamers Of The Droids



The team behind Travelmate is overwhelmingly composed of robotics specialists and it definitely shows. Travelmate Robotics has authorized pre-orders on Indiegogo, with many models and sizes starting at $399.



Being the first of their kind to have smart autonomy in their suitcases, the company has also launched a funding campaign so mass production does not become an issue and delayed projects do not occur.

Leo Ryzhenko, who is the president of Travelmate Robotics, states it this way, "suitcases have been practically the same for decades. Travelmate brings in incredible design and some much needed innovation to everyday life."
