Experience a piece of Death Stranding with this affordable motorised AI handcart with camera

Beyond telling a complex story about mass extinctions, timefall and stillmothers, Death Stranding also showcases the use of futuristic technologies to transport goods. Currently seeking financial support through a crowdfunding campaign, the FollowFit is an advanced handcart designed to haul items – though it's slightly more “down to earth” than carriers in the game. Driven by an electric motor, the cart can effortlessly move heavy or bulky objects.

In addition to a handle for precise navigation, the device comes with a remote control and can also operate semi-autonomously thanks to its built-in sensors. According to the manufacturer, the actual user-tracking capabilities are powered by a vision recognition system and an AI algorithm. The optical sensor is complemented by ultrasonic radars, allowing the FollowFit to navigate complex terrain, such as forested areas.  

Weighing 16 kg (35.3 lb), the wagon features 165 mm wheels driven by a 200-watt motor and can carry loads of up to 100 kg (220 lb). Its capacity is expandable from 120 to 180 litres, depending on configuration. The detachable battery promises a range of up to 15 km (9.3 mi). With a top speed of around 3 to 5 km/h (1.9 to 3.1 mph), the FollowFit should be able to keep up with a person walking at a moderate pace. The electric handcart is currently available on Kickstarter at an early bird price of $399, though potential backers should be mindful of the inherent risks of crowdfunding campaigns and carefully review the shipping terms and conditions before purchasing.
