# Autonomous Camera Robots Beni Ai Camera Robot is a Self-Driving Camera for Content Creation By Amy Duong | Published 2026-08-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beni-ai-camera-robot References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mondorobotics/beni-all-terrain-camera-robot?ref=1g843m)  Beni AI Camera Robot is a four-wheeled [autonomous camera that follows users](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-air-2) while capturing stabilized 4K HDR video without requiring a [handheld gimbal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-rs-5) or drone pilot. The 3.86-pound device reaches speeds of 17.9 mph, clears obstacles up to 10 inches high and automatically rights itself after tipping over. HybridFlow Stabilization combines mechanical and electronic stabilization, while onboard AI powers obstacle avoidance, subject tracking and four filming modes: Tail, Side, Front and Circle. A magnetic Motion Tracker worn on the body maintains subject lock when users move out of frame and also functions as a handheld controller. The robot records to 32 GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, keeping tracking, filming and obstacle detection on-device while reserving cloud connectivity for optional [AI video editing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgsfield1). Battery life reaches 1.5 hours per charge or up to 4.5 hours with three swappable batteries. Pilot Mode enables manual remote driving from a smartphone, while interchangeable hats, ear attachments and protective plates customize the robot's appearance.
