Golf has seen its share of gadgets over the years—GPS watches, launch monitors, you name it. But every so often, something drops that makes you think: okay, that’s different.

That’s where Robera’s Neo comes in. On the surface, it’s a follow-me golf trolley. But under the hood, it’s a self-driving, AI-powered, club-carrying sidekick that can also record your swing and break it down shot-by-shot—without you having to lift a finger.

And judging by the $300,000-plus it’s pulled on Kickstarter (more than 6,000% of its original goal), golfers are lining up for the chance to ditch the manual pushcart.

More Than Just a Follow-Me Cart

We’ve seen “follow” trolleys before—usually relying on a remote or a Bluetooth tether. The Neo doesn’t bother with that. Instead, it uses AI vision tracking to lock onto you and trail you across the fairway, weaving around hazards, other players, or whatever else is in its way.

But here’s where it steps things up: when you’re on the tee, the Neo parks itself in the perfect spot to capture your swing on its built-in camera. The detachable tablet lets you review your motion frame-by-frame, so you can analyze your tempo, see exactly where you’re leaking strokes, and make adjustments right there on the course.

Think of it as a blend between a caddy, a swing coach, and a loyal golden retriever—minus the slobber.

Hands-Free and Smarter Than It Looks

The Neo isn’t just about shadowing you—it’s designed for total convenience.

Gesture & voice commands let you call or send it away without touching a button.

A 100m remote range means you can have it meet you at your next shot.

GPS mapping (with 40,000 courses preloaded) calculates efficient routes to save battery.

For now, only the commercial model offers full-course autonomous navigation—the consumer version still needs manual input to move between fairways. But once it’s set on a path, it can handle inclines up to 25 degrees, rain, and the occasional muddy patch.

Built for a Long Day on the Course

The Neo’s 288Wh battery delivers enough juice for 27 holes, and if you’ve still got gas in the tank after lunch, a 100W fast charge gets it ready for another loop. It’s also IPX5-rated for water resistance, so drizzle isn’t going to send it packing.

This isn’t just a gadget—it’s a legit game-changer for anyone who wants less lugging, more learning, and a high-tech caddy experience without the human cost.
