Called the Joggobot, this flying drone is a robotic running companion that helps joggers maintain a steady pace.
The robot has a built-in camera and sensor and is programmed to follow the orange and blue markers on a running T-shirt that the jogger is wearing.
Once it detects the markers, the Joggobot hovers in front of the runner at about a meter's height and at a speed set by the runner using a custom-built smartphone app. The drone lands immediately when it loses sight of the markings.
STOMPer AAngel who sent in the video said:
"I bet many joggers would enjoy something like this, especially those who prefer to jog alone or can't find a suitable jogging partner.
"It would be cool if they can add more improvements, making the robot more reactive or if it could carry a water bottle for the jogger."
