Shop differently with this South Korean ‘flying cart’

Engineers at South Korea’s Seoul National University of Science and Technology have developed a “flying cart” they hope will change how people shop. The new aerial cargo transport platform is called “Palletrone” – a combination of words for cargo “pallet” and multirotor “drone”. The device can be controlled using gentle force, remaining stable and floating above the ground even as it moves up stairways.

Imagine Loudness of the Crowd using this Shopping Cart.

[hondamonkey]

“What did you say? Come again?”
“The drone is making too much noise!”

Oh boy, just imagine x100 of that

[shqip_sumejja]

It's a fun idea but a wheeled shopping cart is just better in every way. These drones would work better for delivery

[YSKWatch]

robot dog with cart on top of it might be better.

[nicholasbolas]

I'm pretty sure such carts are not floating off the top of our needs right now...

Max carry weight 7lbs sounds like a box of hornets
Yea this will be popular.

Another great example of things we didn't need but could do

[Ttangko_]

We live in the middle of something called energy crisis. Can we stop?

[zmeel]

It's so noisy. People will hate you for it.

[FrostReviews]

Some one will trip and there hair will get caught in the blades scarry

[slowbro]

Every bit of new data builds a more stable drone platform for various uses and performance enhancements.

[usercr]

that will displace a lot of floor dust into the air

[lappania]

"what if we remove the navigation system from the drone and instead make it so that you have to navigate by pushing it"

[End-wf]

Why not go rocket powered for more comical solution?

[facetiousmarbles]

This just isn’t practical at a glance. Cost. Sound. Weight.

[Terrakinetic]

Isn't that a waste of energy/electricity?

[archiekleung]

This is a bad idea.
It blows up dust on the ground onto everyone near by.
If you put payload to it the problem is magnified.
If you have more than one vehicle in an area the effect is more than comical.

Making solutions for a problem that does not exist.😅

[livanwijaya]

Useless, it's just drone with basket.. not invention at all

[bolognawilson]

Your hearing loss is not supported by your job or union 😂😂😂😂
