Ella | A Smart Self-Driving Stroller for Modern Parents.
Maybe a baby stroller is not something you would expect to see at the biggest tech event in the world, but this is no regular stroller but one that leverages the latest developments and trends in the technology world. Nowadays, we use technology and automation in every aspect of our daily lives, so it is only natural to see the latest technologies being applied to strollers as well, considering they are a key support gear for parents and caregivers.

Christened Ella, the smart stroller uses robotics and machine learning to improve safety, usability, and comfort and just make today’s parents’ lives a little bit easier. It features push assist, hands-free cruising, brake assist, and auto parking, so it will enable parents and their kids to explore the world effortlessly.
The makers equipped the 30-pound (13.6-kg) stroller with a dual-motor drive system that helps get it up steep roads or sidewalks and on bumpy paths even when loaded with toys or groceries, much in the way pedal-assist electric bikes can tackle difficult terrain. Thanks to the adaptive push and brake assistance, parents will enjoy every walk they take with their little ones, regardless of the terrain.
Ella also boasts onboard sensors that alert the person who’s pushing it when encountering obstacles or potential dangers, such as approaching cars, bikes, or scooters. Another noteworthy feature is the multi-level braking system that will intelligently stop the stroller if left unattended.
What’s more, the smart stroller incorporates Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS), which means it can drive itself, saving parents from the hassle of having to continuously push the stroller. Don’t worry, though, it will only use this feature when no baby is seated inside. This comes quite in handy in those moments when your baby doesn’t want to be pushed around in the stroller but rather explore their surroundings on their own feet or be held in your arms. And it won’t run away from you either, as Ella can sense the distance to the pusher and will apply the automatic brakes if you lag behind.
Of course, a “Rock-my-baby” mode couldn’t miss from this intelligent stroller, and it is meant to soothe and relax your baby and give you a moment of rest
