Case: Self following suitcase
In order to make (business) travel more efficient, it would be useful to create a self-following suitcase for travelers, but this idea can also be used by example elderly when buying groceries or by other people who have to regularly transport objects. However, special attention has to be given to subjects like security, privacy, battery life and obstacle avoidance.
