About
Robera is a premier AI-visual electric golf caddy that brings autonomous driving technology to the golf course. Built on advanced low-speed unmanned driving technologies, Robera integrates visual perception, obstacle avoidance, motion control, and deep learning for object recognition to deliver a truly intelligent golfing companion. At the core of Robera's technology is an iTOF (Indirect Time-of-Flight) camera system combined with UWB (Ultra-Wideband) for enhanced precision. This allows the caddy to identify the golfer's shape and body, detect gestures and movements, and navigate effectively even in challenging outdoor lighting conditions. The system was trained on nearly a million data points using over a dozen servers. Robera offers multiple operating modes including auto-follow (where it trails the golfer hands-free), marching mode (where it leads ahead in reverse), and remote control from up to 100 meters away. Golfers can control start/stop with simple hand gestures and adjust walking speed across 9 speed settings. The product lineup includes the Robera Pro (flagship AI-powered model), Robera Core (compact and user-friendly), and the upcoming Robera NEO. Additional features include anti-tipping protection, a massive battery for full-round coverage, one-touch recall, and facial recognition. Robera is ideal for golfers looking to modernize their game, reduce physical strain, and enjoy a smarter, more enjoyable round on the course.
Key Features
- AI Auto-Follow Mode: Robera uses iTOF cameras and deep learning to autonomously identify and follow the golfer without any remote control, using simple hand gestures to start or stop.
- Obstacle Avoidance System: Built on nearly a million training data points, the obstacle avoidance system combines motion control with visual perception to smoothly navigate around obstacles on the course.
- Marching & Speed Control Modes: Switch between follow and marching (lead) modes with 9 adjustable speed settings to match your walking pace for a personalized experience.
- Remote Control (Up to 100m): Golfers can steer Robera in any direction from up to 100 meters away and switch between operating modes using the included remote.
- Gesture & Facial Recognition: Advanced gesture and facial recognition allow hands-free control and accurate identification of the golfer even in strong outdoor lighting conditions.
Use Cases
- Golfers who want a hands-free caddy experience without carrying or pushing a cart manually.
- Senior or physically limited golfers who need assistance transporting their clubs around the course.
- Competitive golfers looking to reduce fatigue and stay focused on their game performance.
- Golf courses and clubs seeking to offer a premium, technology-enhanced caddy experience to guests.
- Golf enthusiasts who want to modernize their game with the latest AI and autonomous vehicle technology.
Pros
- Truly Hands-Free Operation: The auto-follow and gesture control features eliminate the need for constant remote interaction, letting golfers focus entirely on their game.
- Advanced AI & Computer Vision: Trained on nearly a million data points, the deep learning model offers reliable tracking, obstacle avoidance, and recognition in real-world outdoor conditions.
- Multiple Product Options: With Pro, Core, and NEO models, Robera offers options for different budgets and feature preferences, making AI caddies accessible to more golfers.
Cons
- High Price Point: As a premium AI-powered hardware product, Robera carries a significant upfront cost compared to traditional manual or basic electric caddies.
- Limited to Golf Courses: The product is highly specialized for golf and has no broader utility outside of that context, limiting its appeal to a niche audience.
- Dependence on Terrain & Lighting: While designed to handle outdoor lighting, extreme terrain conditions or edge cases may still challenge the visual recognition and navigation systems.
