RoboPorter will help to carry your load

by Sherry on February 18th, 2008

If you happen to be at an airport in Japan, you may be lucky enough to witness a test drive - so to speak - of the new RoboPorter which is undergoing testing for a few hours per day. The robotic creation was designed to help weary travelers out by easing their load. Simply load your heavy baggage onto the RoboPorter, program the screen (currently only available in Japanese of course), and let it go! Once it’s off, you just need to follow along behind it and stroll nonchalantly, without a care in the world.

I have no idea how well this will catch on in Japan, or whether it will end up being a staple in airports in other countries, but I guarantee I’d try it if I had the chance to do so! What about you?
