That's Not A Darlek - It's My Suitcase

Filed in archive Just Plain Weird by Michael Pick on November 14, 2007

Weighing in somewhere between a darlek and R2D2, but focused on carrying your luggage around for you, this prototype robot suitcaselinks will apparently be available to buy by 2009.

That's Not A Darlek - It's My Suitcase


The Raw Feed writes:
"A Russian catelog called Robotronic.ru is already willing to take your money ($2,000) for a ROBOTIC SUITCASE named "Tony," the catelog claims will go on sale in 2009. According to the site, you carry a card in your pocket, which tells the suitcase where you are. It will then use its robotic brain, internal gyroscope, light detectors and both sound and infrared sensors to follow you around without bumping into you or anything else."


If this is real, and isn't just an elaborate scam to get people to part with two grand, rest assured that your friendly robot chum will do one thing that darleks couldn't - get up the stairs.
