Is there a combination of personal robot and sports equipment?

People can be motivated with robots in addition to sporting ambition. Short-term positive stress (eustress) and variety are also possible when exercising with robots.
The Ninebot LOOMO has a robot with artificial intelligence and can be used as a Segway. The small Personal Robot is located between the footplates. The robot looks like a small human being due to the design. The carrying handle has two open legs at the front, which look like arms. On top is a moving display that acts like a head and simulates a face atmospherically.
Data:
Robot can follow its owner at a distance and detects obstacles
Recordings with the camera are stabilized
The recordings can be transmitted live to the personal smartphon
Due to the artificial intelligence of Loomo further functions can be taught or programmed by voice command
It is possible to interact with Loomo
Additional functions can be added through software updates
The Segway is so far matured that movement can be executed very agile and stable on different surfaces.
Features:
Size: 25.6″ height x 12.2″ width x 22.4″ cm length
The GO1 from Unitree is a faithful and easy-to-care-for companion on 4 paws for running, exciting camera shots and much more. The GO1delivers a little-known experience through agile and autonomous machines. High-quality artificial intelligence and technology deliver appropriate movements like from a sci-fi movie:
Equipped this new series with 4 legs for rough terrain and also stairs. The legs look very slim and yet stable. As far as off-road capabilities are concerned, these robots are unsurpassed. Built-in cameras for the view in longitudinal axis and transverse axis of the moving head. An interesting feature is the possibility of using various attachments, such as laser scanners, infrared sensors or gripping tools.
An advantage is that the battery can be quickly replaced by a spare battery.
Benefits:
Surveillance purposes, e.g. also for security purposes.
reconnaissance of poorly accessible areas, outside and at obstacles in buildings, underground and e.g. in mines
remote laser scanning of premises
Attachment of tools possible (e.g. gripper arms), perspective interesting as support for agriculture or horticulture
Interesting are versions for rescue operations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_tsqLtuKBI)
AI - Artificial Intelligence:
Artificial intelligence allows dynamic following of people at different speeds and with changing obstacles. There is a “tag” for automatic following. In addition, the GO1 is stabilized when climbing stairs or in rough terrain.
Movements:
The Go1 can move in all 4 directions. In addition, movements to stand on 2 hind legs can be called up to perform various choreographies for entertainment. The Quadruped can thus imitate movements of a dog. In this regard, the “tag” for following people is also interesting. This gives the impression of a “faithful companion”.
