[The Week reports on the future of running](http://theweek.com/article/index/228873/joggobot-the-robotic-jogging-companion?ref=killscreen.com). All I could think of is the drones from *BioShock 2*.

> For those who lack a human partner, researchers Floyd Mueller and Eberhard Grather, of the Exertion Games Lab at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, have developed “Joggobot,” a quad-rotor helicopter drone designed to [motivate joggers](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2154932/Jog-human-The-robot-companion-flies-just-ahead-runners-track.html?ito=feeds-newsxml&ref=killscreen.com) by flying in front of them (watch a video below). The aerial robot uses its camera to spot a colorful pattern on a T-shirt worn by the jogger, and flies at a safe distance ahead. The runner can control Joggobot using a smartphone: In “companion mode,” the drone simply maintains the jogger’s pace; in “coach mode,” it pushes its human trainee a little faster.
