Self-Balancing Suitcases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 90Fun Puppy 1 is Inspired by the Segway

— January 5, 2018 — World
Navigating through the airport with a suitcase is a hassle to say the least, so the 90Fun Puppy 1 gets rid of that chore entirely. The tech-laden travel accessory uses a driving system inspired by Segways to balance on its own, and it automatically follows its owner around (like a puppy) thanks to an advanced positioning system.

Though the 90Fun Puppy 1 does come with a handle for manual pulling, its auto-follow is far more likely to get use from consumers. The smart luggage system has only two wheels, but like a Segway it leans forward in order to keep its balance, whether moving or at a standstill. In fact, Segway and 90Fun are strategic partners.

On top of auto-follow, the suitcase can be summoned by its owner through a remote control command.
Trend Themes
1. Self-balancing Luggage - Developing self-balancing luggage systems that automatically follow their owners presents an opportunity for disrupting the travel accessories market.
2. Smart Travel Accessories - Creating technologically advanced travel accessories with features like auto-follow systems and remote control commands can disrupt the conventional luggage industry.
3. Inspired by Segway - Exploring the application of Segway-inspired driving systems in different industries, such as luggage, can lead to disruptive innovations and improved user experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Travel Accessories - Integrating self-balancing and smart technologies into travel accessories has the potential to revolutionize the travel accessories industry.
2. Luggage - Incorporating self-balancing capabilities and advanced positioning systems in luggage can disrupt the traditional luggage market and enhance convenience for travelers.
3. Personal Mobility - Adapting Segway-inspired driving systems for personal mobility devices, beyond traditional segways, could bring disruptive innovations to the personal mobility industry.
