Runners, you no longer have to convince your reluctant partner to put on sneaks and hit the streets with you, thanks to my new favorite drone: the Joggobot, a companion robot for runners. Using a built-in camera, the autonomous drone hones in on sensors in a custom shirt and exhorts you to keep up with it.
“People might feel chased if the Joggobot was behind them,†says researcher Eberhard Grather in a video. So instead your little drone friend flies in front of you.
You have to go to the link to see the demo.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
