Hop, the suitcase that follows you automatically

 

Many times when we travel, we usually carry luggage too heavy and actually ended up working hard transporting them from one place to another. Well, that may soon fall behind, because now there is a new type of bag that communicates with our smartphone wirelessly and follows us wherever we go, all without laying a finger on. This short is called Hop.
Hop is designed to follow the user to maintain a constant distance, and if for some reason it away, it will issue an alert on our mobile.
The small built-Hop has three types of technology used to receive different, identify and triangular signals from the user's smartphone. A microcontroller calculates the relative position between the suitcase and mobile, and then the bag is moved using compressed air.
If we judge by the size, we see that the capacity is a bit limited, but still continues to be very useful and can expect to get very good for the elderly and people who can not do a lot of strength. For now, the units are prototypes and have not yet gone on sale, and surely will not until at least next year.
