Abstract
A system for monitoring objects at sporting events or other types of events uses a wearable drone that has at least one camera or other sensor for capturing or otherwise sensing data. When the drone is to be used for monitoring, such as monitoring an object at a sporting event, the wearable drone may be detached from its user, and it may hover or otherwise fly within a certain position of an object to be monitored. While flying, the drone's sensor may be used to capture information, such as performance data or images, of the object during the sporting event.
