This robot was created specifically for training, it stimulates athletes to improve their performance.
Some inventions only one of its kind can produce the impression – and perhaps the same can be said about the special BeatBot robot developed by Puma for athletes. The robot looks like the most natural Shoe box with attached wheels and suspension, automatically controlled. In addition, on-Board the robot with a LED backlight, two GoPro cameras, which can not fail to surprise – the robot was developed jointly by the Puma company and advertising Agency J. Walter Thompson in order to motivate runners to improve their athletic performance. It is worth noting that BeatBot also equipped with a set of sensors allowing it to accurately pass any terrain.
As they say representatives of the company Puma, a robot-runner is a much more effective motivator for athletes, rather than a simple stopwatch, because he is directly involved in the race in training. Puma publicity Department said that for a long time have noticed a trend over the best athletic performance of the runner, if he is competing against another human – that’s why robot runner was supposed to be high speed, but at the same time, virtually error-free trajectory.
That is why this model is BeatBot actually comparable to the record of a famous runner Usain Bolt, who last made in 2009. It should be noted that the robot from the Puma company is equally well suited for both long and short runs. That is, it may be suitable for any kind of training in athletes.
Backlight of LED sources allows the runner to follow the edge of vision behind the movement of the robot, while the mounted GoPro camera be an extremely useful tool when you want then to see your results and compare progress. In addition, experts from the company Puma also has developed a mobile application that allows you to control the robot remotely by asking specific practice settings and movement.
