Solo content creators often face the choice of either recording from a stationary camera or having to ask help from someone who needs to hold the camera. With this robotic tripod system called Roll Cam Robotic Cameraman, this problem seems to be solved to some extent. The system makes the tripod follow whatever needs to be recorded or live-streamed autonomously by using LIDAR and computer vision and can work on different tripods. In the video below it also mentions that the wheels were designed to absorb small vibrations for smooth recording. It comes with multiple recording modes as well. The kit comes with a maker SDK for C++ developers to customize its features further. The project is currently in the kickstarter phase.
