The age of the robot servant starts now. Budgee is designed to carry your bags and follow you at a distance of your choosing. You can control it using your smartphone or tablet and there’s an off switch on its head, just in case. It’s also supposed to be able to avoid obstacles, and can carry up to 50lbs and move at four miles per hour. At $1,400 you can guess why the Kickstarter failed, but Budgee is pressing ahead regardless. You can also customize its eye color and voice tracks, though we have no idea how to handle his inevitable robotic rise to consciousness and subsequent existential crisis.
