Fond of playing golf? With this robotic caddy, you will surely start loving golf even more.
The Shadow Caddy is the first robotic golf caddy that follows the player anywhere on the golf course. There's no need for remote controls or joysticks. It works using only a small sensor worn by the player. The caddy always moves just a few feet behind the golfer. A follow me/stop button is provided to make the caddy move or stay put. It can carry the clubs and other materials the player needs.
Its features include a collision avoidance system to keep it away from bumping into other players or objects and a steering geometry that allows the caddy to avoid impossible slopes. It is powered by long life batteries that are leak-proof and can complete 2×18 hole rounds if charged fully.
