TechRadar has published a first-person article about Beni, a small robot that follows and films users. The headline calls Beni a "cute little robot" and compares it to a "ground drone." The provided text includes a biography of the writer but no product specifications or test results.

The material accompanying the article includes a biography of Lance Ulanoff, an award-winning technology journalist, on-air expert and commentator.

The biography says Ulanoff previously served as editor in chief of PCMag.com and senior vice president of content for Ziff Davis, Inc. While there, he guided the brand to a digital-only existence and oversaw content strategy for all Ziff Davis websites. His column on PCMag.com earned a Bronze award from the ASBPE, and Winmag.com, HomePC.com and PCMag.com were honored under his guidance.

Ulanoff has appeared on programs including Live with Kelly and Mark, the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNBC, CNN and the BBC, the biography says.
