Could this be coming to a grocery store near you? A University of Florida engineering student has designed a robotic shopping cart that follows you around the supermarket, slows down when needed so items can be placed in it, and has sensors so it never crashes into your heels.
Gregory Garcia dreamed up the robotic cart — known as B.O.S.S. for Battery Operated Smart Servant — to solve a childhood peeve of being accidentally bumped with shopping carts by his sister.

"The immediate thing that jumped to my mind was all those times as a kid when my sister would accidentally hit me," Garcia said. "It seems like the public would really want this since everybody shops."

We just hope he comes up with a gizmo that automatically ejects that bag of candy kids always try to sneak into the cart.
