The Joggobot quadcopter keeps you company as you run and can even set the pace to encourage stronger performance.
Developed at Exertion Games Lab, the autonomous flying Joggobot features on-board sensors able to lock on to the shirt of the person it is meant to track, keeping pace with the runner or flying in front to encourage a more challenging speed. It will also react to the physical environment in a way that mimics the human, whirring as its battery drains in a way similiar to the puffing of a tired runner.
The team at Exertion Games Lab hopes the Joggobot can enhance understanding of why we play and promote the consideration of robot supported exertion activities.
