Original Abstract Submitted
sports and fitness applications for an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) are described. in an example embodiment, a uav can be configured to track a human subject using perception inputs from one or more onboard sensors. the perception inputs can be utilized to generate values for various performance metrics associated with the activity of the human subject. in some embodiments, the perception inputs can be utilized to autonomously maneuver the uav to lead the human subject to satisfy a performance goal. the uav can also be configured to autonomously capture images of a sporting event and/or make rule determinations while officiating a sporting event.
