However you are correct on the cutouts, I was planning on doing that. And yes, it must be as quiet as possible. It also needs to have restraint so there isn't a insane box chasing everyone around

One simple option might be to use a range finder. Have code that tries to optimize the distance to target to, say, 6 feet. As the person moves forward, the tote follows, trying to keep exactly 6 feet away. If the person stops, the tote will stop.

And, yes, set a maximum speed so the thing doesn't start chasing everyone (funny as that would look!)
