Bright lights and even brighter sparks characterize January in Las Vegas. We rounded up the best smart bags we saw at this year’s CES technology exhibition. Get ready to be amazed at how much technology can fit into a suitcase.
Ovis hands-free carry-on case https://youtu.be/_q-lRO8l2Mk
The robotics company Forward X has developed a smart carry-on bag that follows your every step. It is the first AI-powered case of its kind, and it employs computer vision technology, artificial neural network techniques, and multi-sensor fusion to navigate around obstacles and keep up with you as you go about your day.
Wearing a smart band will alert you if your case wanders more than six feet from your wrist. You can switch to manual mode with a single touch for usage on escalators and stairs. Dual USB charging outlets and a 93.6Wh replaceable battery are included.
It starts at $640.00 and comes in white, black, silver, and blue.

Samsara smart carry-on bag
This ultralight aluminum carry-on falsely believes it is a table for your laptop. The surface is smooth and flat, making it ideal for use as a desk. It also has a USB port for charging electronic devices (the latter up to 10 times). Multiple dividers and pouches inside facilitate orderly packing, and two locks ensure that your belongings will remain safely within.
When your bag leaves your sight, you can check its location and see whether it was opened with the use of a smartphone app.
It’s a lovely touch that the case lights itself when opened in the dark. You can get it in either black or silver for $345.

Modobag – the bag that turns into a scooter
You can be carried by your Modobag. It transforms into a battery-powered scooter at the push of a button and, although being equipped with a lithium battery, weighs in at a relatively light 20 pounds. The telescoping handlebar makes it easy to reach the throttle, brake, and steering controls. As well as a soft seat for comfort. It includes two 5V USB ports and a side panel to store your laptop.
What is the maximum speed it can reach? A full charge will bring you from one end of the airport to the other, and at eight miles per hour, you’ll be able to go that distance without recharging. The price is $1,495.00.

Scoocase – the carry-on that turns into a scooter
This carry-on scooter is made of aluminum and has a solid compartment for a laptop. It’s very fast, too, with a top speed of 15 mph and a range of 15 miles per charge. The Scoocase comes with a mobile app that connects via Bluetooth and shows information like speed, distance traveled, remaining battery life, energy usage, temperature, ballast, or RPN (revolutions per minute).
The app also has a map feature that indicates whether or not you will have enough juice to get there. If your case gets lost, the app will let you know so you can find it again. The scooter part can be detached and used as a skateboard.
