- The Robera Neo is an autonomous golf car that continues to use AI
- A built -in camera can record each line for instant video analysis
- He has already raised more than $ 300,000 in Kickstarter
Golf is no stranger to technology. From the best GPS watches to launch monitors, the game has adopted innovation. But Robera’s last invention could be the greatest evolution of golf to date: an autonomous cart that transports his clubs and criticizes his swing while dragging Hole’s hole.
Throwed in Kickstarter, the Robera Neo has raised more than $ 300,000 (around £ 225,000 / UA $ 470,000), more than 6000% of its original objective. The first installment is scheduled for July 2025 and those numbers suggest that many golfers are ready to improve their cars.
Monitoring cars are not a new concept. But unlike traditional electric models, the NEO does not depend on a Bluetooth phone or a wireless convene. Instead, use a vision system with AI to track its position and shadow as you advance down the street. That also means that you can direct the dangers, be it a bunker or its golf partner.
The neo not only eliminates the effort to take its clubs: it can also shave the blows of its score. Parked next to the Tee, use a built -in camera to record your swing. Then you can check the frame-by-fried analysis on the detachable tablet of the Cart, to obtain comments to rival a human caddie.
Teeing with autonomy
Because golfers have enough equipment to worry, neo -Majors with hands -free control. The Smart tracking system supports gesture and voice commands, which allows you to convene or send the cart at a distance. If you are sure of the take, you can even send it in advance. You can also use the remote control to take it 100 meters away.
With a database of 40,000 courses on board, the NEO uses the GPS mapping to dynamically plan the most efficient route in the future. However, it is not a completely autonomous experience: while the consumer version can find its way along the street, traveling from one street to the next requires a manual route entry. Only the commercial model supports full -course navigation.
Even so, the NEO can handle difficult conditions as a professional. An IPX5 rating means that you can play in the rain, while transport wheels help address slopes of up to 25 degrees. A 288h removable battery can also see it through a solid 27 holes. And thanks to the fast charging of 100W, the neo can go to another round after lunch.
Attend
Everything is designed to be intelligent and convenient. It is heavier than a standard 15 kg golf car, but folding design should make it quite easy to store in the garage. It is also significantly more expensive, with the base level base package that costs $ 1,979 (around £ 1,500 / au $ 3,100). The table version begins at $ 2,639 (around £ 2,000 / au $ 4,150).
That is a lot for a tram. But it is cheaper than paying a professional for personalized training every time you play. If you want something to take your clubs and comment, without the need to speak small between swings, the neo could be the way to follow.
Whether replacing your caddie or simply gives a boost to your game, it certainly promises to update your game. The way of continuing and is ingenious, but receiving instant comments without a launch lesson or monitor is what will attract many. In addition, the fact that a robot does not put your eyes blank when shooting. All the usual warnings of collective financing are applied, but I am looking forward to seeing if it depends on the pair.
