A Drone That Follows You Around Is Way Less Messy Than Puppy

After leaving his uninspiring job at a bank , Sameer Parekh bulge his own fellowship calledFalkor Systemsto further develop the concept of autonomous flying drone that do n’t require a pilot . His first creation is a modifiedParrot AR.Dronedesigned to espouse someone around a room like an incredibly firm — but noisy — puppy , but he also has more practical applications in mind than just an expensive airborne companion that exhaust through battery faster than dog food for thought .

Parekh first wants to allow for extreme athletes with another way to capture their ridiculous stunts . Right now the GoPro is typically the go - to camera for that , but it only provides a first - person perspective of their experience . A flying drone following at a curt space would capture footage of the athlete themselves , and if things go amiss it also mean it would n’t get caught up and destroyed in an accident . But a pet that could successfully turn in breakfast in seam ? That ’s still an idea worth pursuing . [ Falkor SystemsviaPopular Science ]
