Create a tall cart with very small footprint for moving stuff. Perhaps a pair of six inch diameter wheels.
The goal is a cart the rough shape of a standing person will not have difficulty fitting in places designed for people.
The extremely tricky part is for it not to fall over: use Segway style self balancing. It might also need arms to hold on to things.
Although the self balancing is powered by an internal battery, the primary power of locomotion is a human pushing or pulling it by a handle probably attached to the base. This hopefully decreases the power requirements.
Get it to climb stairs and step over gaps. Perhaps a second set of wheels that move up and down.
Inspired by the difficulty of bringing a wireframe shopping cart on a crowded city bus. With the cargo packed into bags, the cart might look more like a coat rack on wheels.
