Would you hike with a robotic companion? It could carry your pack and be outfitted with sensors that allow it to detect dangerous animals long before you do. How about a drone that would silently watch over you from above so you still get the solitude of hiking alone but still have the safety of a robotic guardian watching over you? Obviously anything noisy like a quadcopter would be out maybe something that silently flies like a bird could be developed.
