The Luggage Robot, also known affectionately as Tony, comes with light sensitive detectors, ultrasound and infrared sensors that help it navigate around without bumping into obstacles in its path. Simply by placing the card in your back pocket, it will automatically tail/stalk you for up to 120 minutes, effectively freeing you of your burden during those exhausting trips. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a sensor to alert you when somebody nicks away your robotic suitcase. That’d be a real heartbreaking episode, since the Tony Luggage Robot is tipped to retail for a pretty expensive $19,60 when it is produced sometime in 2009. Will we see Tony Luggage Robot owners of the future tying it up to a lamp post like how folks do to pets today?
