Background on Technology Disclosure
MOOBOT is designed as an “autonomous mobile robot” from the ground up, with both hardware and software engineered to intuitively anticipate and assist user actions. It goes beyond merely attaching a motor to a suitcase. By revealing these previously undisclosed technological advantages, MOOBOT aims to establish new benchmarks within the travel tech market.
Core Tech 1: Haptic Sensor AI Predicting Intent in 0.1 Seconds
The handle of the MOOBOT suitcase features a high-sensitivity, invisible sensor array. This system is not a simple ON/OFF switch; it senses the subtle “force vector (direction and strength)” applied by the user to the handle hundreds of times per second.
A proprietary AI-driven predictive control algorithm analyzes this sensor information to detect a user’s “preliminary motion 0.1 seconds before” they begin to walk. This enables a natural, seamless following motion, creating an experience described as a unified extension of the user, without any sensation of being pulled.
Core Tech 2: High-Density Battery Module Applying EV Technology
MOOBOT challenges the conventional wisdom that electric suitcases require large, heavy batteries. By adopting high-energy-density lithium-ion cells developed for electric vehicles (EVs), the battery module has achieved extreme miniaturization.
This pocket-sized battery offers high power, enabling the suitcase to climb inclines even when fully loaded, without compromising storage capacity. Furthermore, it functions as a large-capacity mobile battery when removed, capable of charging smartphones and PCs.
Core Tech 3: Fully Silent Direct Drive In-Wheel Motor
To overcome the challenges of driving noise and frictional resistance inherent in traditional gear-driven systems, MOOBOT utilizes in-wheel motor technology, where the motor is directly integrated into the wheel.
The latest model has transitioned to “brushless motors (BLDC),” which eliminate physical contact. This innovation achieves library-level quietness and approximately 30% greater power efficiency compared to previous models by eliminating friction loss.
Future Outlook: Continued Investment in R&D
Building upon these core technologies, Kitajima International Trading Co., Ltd. is currently developing the “5th generation (self-charging model).” The company aims to fundamentally transform people’s travel experiences, positioning itself not merely as a “bag company” but as a “mobile robot manufacturer.”
