Fond of playing golf? With this new robo-buddy, you will surely love golf more.

Shadow Caddy is the first robotic golf caddy that follows the player anywhere around 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 that the player need.

Its features include a collision avoidance system to keep it away from bumping with other players or objects and a steering geometry that lets the caddy avoid impossible slopes. It is powered by long life batteries that are leak-proof and can complete 2×18 hole rounds if charged fully.
