Suitcase of the future

Five Lebanese teenagers have reinvented the traditional suitcase. They've designed a 'smart suitcase' that follows its owner, giving their invention the name 'Follow me Suitcase'. It could mean that lost luggage and carrying heavy bags would become a thing of the past. The Lebanese students' innovation has sensors and an infrared system and the owner wears an anklet which enables the case to follow its user. The design uses a central processing unit or CPU. The CPU carries out the stored instructions of a specific programmer. It's also equipped with an HD camera and infra-red sensors. The user can control the movements through a mobile app, that includes functions such as 'Follow Me', 'Pause' and 'Manual Control'. The team of young innovators now hope to attract funding and take their product to market and to secure a national and international patent.
