I googled "remote control utility cart" and found this right away:
rc remote control utility cart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u6mAZgWeT0#ws)

Could you attach the basket to this?

You don't mention what your budget is or if you are inclined to design and build your own.  For building your own, there are sources of components that are pretty easy to wire together with a little patience. Building the frame and mounting everything is really where the work will be.

If you provide more details about the layout of your house, your budget, and your mechanical aptitude, we could help more.
