Beni is an all-terrain autonomous camera robot featuring on-device AI for subject tracking, multi-angle following, and automated highlight-reel editing without cloud dependency. The robot uses dual 150-degree obstacle-avoidance cameras and spring-loaded motorized legs enabling 10-inch jumps and stair climbing at up to 18 mph. The full autonomy stack (perception, planning, on-device editing) runs locally on the robot. Team background from DJI and Tesla Optimus.
