Beni is a ground-based autonomous camera robot that solves the persistent problem of capturing dynamic third-person footage without a human operator. Unlike drones, which require airspace clearance and produce overhead perspectives, or gimbals, which need a walking camera person, Beni tracks at ground level to deliver cinematic chase, side, and orbit shots from angles that feel immersive and natural. The robot uses a magnetic Motion Tracker worn by the subject — on a belt, collar, or gear — to maintain precise relative positioning across rear-follow, side-parallel, and orbital capture modes. Its all-terrain chassis navigates pavement, dirt, grass, gravel, and moderate off-road conditions, accommodating the pace of runners, cyclists, skateboarders, and active dogs. Testing with fast-action scenarios and on unpredictable New York City streets has demonstrated reliable tracking at speed with the ability to capture shots that would otherwise require a dedicated film crew. The system is designed for solo creators, athletes reviewing their form, pet owners documenting outdoor adventures, and filmmakers seeking establishing shots in locations where drone use is restricted or impractical.
