Hi guys, what a super cool post I have you all today, I am excited to introduce to you the Ovis by ForwardX. Ovis is a very cool bit of technology, a robotic and autonomous (self-driving) suitcase available for consumers in Asia and now the U.S. market.
To see a demo video click the hyperlink below: https://vod.300hu.com/4c1f7a6atransbjngwcloud1oss/47b82f42227456354649382913/v.f30.mp4?dockingId=4160c3dd-bfd0-4c6c-9441-dacae6f67ae1&storageSource=3
Ovis is available in the US market for $799 for a medium-sized suitcase that will reportedly hold about 5-7 days’ worth of clothing. Ideal for business or personal travel. The smart suitcase will follow the owner (side-by-side and not behind them) through well paved streets, airports, train stations, ports and even avoid people or stationary obstacles while maintaining a close proximity to the owner. Ovis will not crash into the owner or get in the way of the owner’s walking path. I believe this would be an excellent device for individuals with low vision and/or physical disabilities. I know my own sister (a wheelchair user) has struggled in the past navigating airports with even a small suitcase, independently due to the hustle and bustle of the airport environment and the physicality of pushing her wheelchair whilst juggling a suitcase. Based on what I have learned so far about Ovis I think it would be an excellent option for those with physical disabilities or dexterity challenges that make managing a traditional suitcase problematic. If you like the looks of this case, please leave a comment, below!
Thanks for reading,
Andrew Drummond
