Also he tells you when his battery is getting low, when he can’t find you, when he is in manual mode, when he is in follow mode and a variety of other status messages. Budgee keeps you informed by talking to you through your smart phone or tablet!
Budgee™ folds up for ease of transportation to your destination or for storage. He easily fits in the trunk of your car and weighs only 20 lbs. So he is easy to lift. In his folded state, he is 18″ x 20″ x 12″. So he is convenient to store in tight spaces.

Budgee’s sound tracks are customizable so that he will speak in most languages.
John Brunner's many fans instantly recognize the autoporter from his 1975 novel The Shockwave Rider:
...he nabbed an autoporter and - after consulting the illuminated fee table on its flank - credded the minimum: $35 for an hour's service...From now until his credit expired the machine would carry his bag in its soft plastic jaws and follow him as faithfully as a well-trained hound, which indeed it resembled, down to the whimper it was programmed to utter at the 55-minute mark, and the howl at 58.
At 60 it would drop the bag and slink away.
Via Budgee.
