Reporter Sean Hollister tested Beni, a jumping camera robodog from TikTok, on July 10, 2026.

Beni is a small, camera‑equipped robodog designed for indoor use and features a joystick control interface.

According to the reviewer, Beni struggled to track people in low‑light indoor conditions.

When the speed was set low and the joystick was moved forward, Beni navigated a hallway autonomously.

Upon reaching a wall, the robot executed an automatic U‑turn and continued moving.

Obstacle avoidance operated as intended, preventing the device from becoming stuck.

The test took place in a private residence.

Further evaluation will determine whether Beni meets consumer expectations for indoor performance.
