Posted by: technogeek in Concept Gadgets, Robot Technology, Sports/Recreation
Ever dream of being like a professional golfer and having a caddy follow you around the course carrying your bags?
Well Shadow Caddy is a new innovative golfing product that will make you feel like a pro on the golf course. This electronic, three-wheeled robotic caddy follows you around the course, carrying your bags, without the aid of a remote control.
With the help of a small transmitter attached to your belt it’ll follow you around, and avoids collisions because of a sophisticated object detection system.
Currently Shadow Caddy is available in Australia only. It will be available in Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Portugal in June of this year. It is expected to be launched in the Canada and South Africa sometime in 2009 and other markets are expected to follow shortly.
