The Cowarobot R1 is a robotic suitcase that can follow its owner autonomously at speeds up to 7.2 km/hr. It is powered by a lithium-ion battery and uses sensors and cameras to stay within arm's length of the owner. The suitcase has GPS tracking, security locks, and a mobile app for locating it if lost. It is designed to be compact while housing the electronic components needed for autonomous mobility.
2. Tommie He and Rolf Pfeifer lead a team of engineers
that brings robotic technology to consumers at
COWAROBOT.
Their main goal is bringing robotics into the products
we use every day.
Came up with the idea of Robotic suitcase
3. A Suitcase That Literally Rolls With You
COWAROBOT R1 senses your movement
and follows you on its own. It is
designed to completely free your hands.
Moves at a speed of 7.2 km/hr
Go up and down slopes of 15 degree
Runs for 20km when fully charged
4. Powered by a 462g lithium ion battery
Conveniently removed at security checkpoints
Used as a power bank to charge your smartphones via USB.
5. Guided by integrated AI, the suitcase stays within
arm’s length distance so whenever the user wishes,
he can grab it and shift it from “autonomous mode”
to “manual mode.”
The Cowarobot R1 does not follow behind, it rolls

look behind or turned around to grab the bag.
Hassle-free traveling
6. GPS tracking offer through its smartphone app helps you locate the
travel bag if it is lost, while a proximity sensor sends an alert to
your cell phone if you are out the proximal distance.
“Find Me Function,” which users can execute by tapping on their
bracelet. As a result, the suitcase will find out the position of the
user and drive itself there autonomously.
Technical Features
7. The detection technology is embedded in
the trolley's handle.
It is equipped with
Antennas
A SIM card
Camera
Laser detection camera
The bottom of the suitcase also has a
sonar sensor which detects slopes and
staircases.
8. The suitcase is secured by a Main Lock
and a Front Lock, both of which are
creative 3-in-1 intelligent locks with
TSA, electronic and combination locks
integrated.
9. The suitcase's design ensures that the tech components do
not occupy much space.
The battery and the driving wheel unit occupy just 1.5
percent and 2.4 percent of the body respectively.
The 20-inch suitcase has a 33-litre capacity and comes
with dual access cabins to remove all the electronic
components.
