Brad Priester's Summary

I created Whirley and Windy to provide comedic vignettes of the future in which all handheld implements will be robots capable of rapidly teaching us how to use them better. In the short run, Whirley and Windy are symbolic of the technology that will be incorporated into the structure of the implement, but, in the long run, who knows? We may actually have drones capable of rapidly training human movement as depicted in these two short videos. Robogolfpro ( https://robogolfpro.com/ ) looks cool, but, as a ground supported robot with a robotic arm (tether) attached to the club, Robogolfpro inordinately restricts freedom of motion. The future lies in removing the tether by physically incorporating all components of the robot into the body of the golf club (or any handheld implement). These self-contained robotic golf clubs will allow for complete freedom of movement and, hence, the ability to rapidly sculpt the perfect golf swing or putting stroke. Whirley and Windy are now part of a bigger team at Cinilope, LLC. Ethan Ferguson and I founded Cinilope in August of 2019 to create new technologies merging XR and robotics. Stay tuned for the launch of Cinilope's first app. The Whirley and Windy videos were produced by Mike Halsey and his brilliant team at Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio in Nashville, TN.
