This may be the coolest thing I have ever seen:
Fido Luggage.
A robot piece of luggage that you don't have to worry about dragging around, because it follows you.
Whoa.
Fido Luggage appears, at first glance, to be remarkable only because of its colorful exterior and blob-like shape. But then you might notice it has a tail. And that it moves on its own, heels beside its owner, and changes direction on command. The owner wears a wristband, which holds an on-off switch for activating Fido, and a receiver for programming voice recognition. And in ways that only a robot can be superior to a dog, even when Fido gets old, you can still retrain it to respond to new commands.
I watched The Jetsons. I felt they had a lot to offer the future. Yet I have been feeling since maturity struck that there is something lacking in this world- I'm speaking of the void left by slowly developing robotics. Where are the helicopter cars? Why don't I have a robot? Where's the new ease of life technology has brought on? Well this luggage assuages all those concerns in one fell swoop.
Also, that link to the Jetsons found me reading episode's synopsis from the 60s on. Please note I have nothing at all to do at work. Anyway, there were a few that I thought might help us navigate a world that includes more robots:
