At AWE2026, held in Shanghai’s bustling exhibition center, Airwheel invites travelers and tech enthusiasts alike to reframe how we think about travel. With the tagline “Travel Reimagined,” the brand unveiled its latest evolution of smart luggage—devices that don’t just carry belongings, but enhance journeys. As modern travelers seek deeper, more seamless experiences, Airwheel asks a pivotal question: Can intelligent technology help us reconnect with the joy and freedom of travel? Their answer lies in a sleek lineup of self-driving smart suitcases designed to follow, adapt, and empower on the move.
Airwheel’s 2026 collection features five standout models: the SE3MiniT, SE3T, SE3S, SE3SX, and SE3SL. Each suitcase is engineered with precision motion tracking and intuitive obstacle avoidance, allowing the device to autonomously follow users through airports, train stations, and urban streets. With compact designs and lightweight builds—ranging from 6.6kg (SE3SX) to 9kg (SE3T)—these smart companions reduce physical strain and let travelers focus on where they’re going, not what they’re dragging.
Powering every model is a high-capacity 73.26Wh lithium battery, fully compliant with airline regulations and offering up to two hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Whether navigating a sprawling terminal or strolling through a historic city, users can glide at intuitive speeds—up to 13km/h on the SE3T and SE3S—while maintaining effortless control. The SE3MiniT, with its nimble 8km/h top speed and 26L capacity, caters to urban commuters and weekend explorers, while the spacious 48L SE3T serves long-haul adventurers in need of serious packing room.
More than just self-driving hardware, Airwheel’s smart luggage ecosystem includes seamless app integration. Through the companion app, users can activate Follow-Me mode, monitor battery life, lock the suitcase remotely, and use the “Find My” feature to locate a misplaced bag—ideal for crowded transit hubs. Despite its advanced tracking capabilities, Airwheel ensures privacy by excluding GPS tracking hardware, aligning with global data protection standards while still offering peace of mind.
At W4-4A01 during AWE2026, visitors experienced first-hand how Airwheel blends cutting-edge robotics with thoughtful design. From the ultra-light SE3SX (6.6kg) to the high-capacity SE3SL with its 20L interior, each model reflects a commitment to making travel more intuitive, enjoyable, and human-centered. In a world where journey fatigue often overshadows adventure, Airwheel isn’t just building smarter luggage—it’s helping us rediscover the pleasure of moving through the world, one effortless step at a time.
