Trans-Porter: The Following Suitcase |
| Supervisor |
Dr. K. Khorasani |
| Description |
Current travel suitcase technology demands an arm dedicated to the task of towing it. Our vision for the advancement of luggage technology is a suitcase that can autonomously follow a user at an arm's reach. This suitcase will utilize a beacon carried by the user to track and follow said user while simultaneously avoiding obstacles that may be in its path.
This product will consist of sensors for obstacle avoidance, wireless technology for user tracking, and a control system with electrical drive motors to provide the suitcase with autonomous mobility. Goal/Motivation:
Revolutionize travel suitcase technology, create a scalable technology to solve a variety of equipment transportation issues, reduce luggage-related
injuries.*
