The Puppy 1 is a 20-inch-high, 50-pound-capacity, remote-controlled suitcase. It uses sensors to balance itself on two wheels and follow its owner at as fast as 10 mph for about 30 miles on a single charge of its removable lithium-ion battery. The plastic hard-shell suitcase weighs just a few pounds when empty.
