The key question: Do you trust this thing to follow you without looking down at it every 5 seconds? Because if you don't, I see no reason to have this thing. Also: Why is he walking at such a leisurely pace? Most people I see at the airport are somewhere between the McAllister family from Home Alone 2 and what I imagine daily walking in NYC to be.

Fun idea, but think of all the people in the airport it may trip up. It will need a pole with a flag so people could see it while rushing to their terminal.

We were working on a similar product. We did test this with an RC controlled prototype. We had plans for automated baggage check-in, pick-up/theft alarms etc. After the testing, some user research and design thinking we figured out this can have a lot of limitations. 1. It seems to be a 'nobody's object' - which can raise security questions. 2. Usability restrictions: a) All airports are not the same - there will be structural difficulties. b) There's a chance the suitcase might fall behind in crowds and queues requiring more attention from the users. c) Closed spaces - elevators, washrooms: You either park it or take it with you. d) Stairs and Slopes 3. Battery, Motor and their contribution to the weight Then we shifted focus to Airport carts that move specific routes/tracks, perform automated baggage check-in etc. Long way to go!
