Abstract:
Embodiments provide apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with a location-aware autonomous self-propelled sports ball.

The locator tags may be worn by respective users of the sports ball and/or placed on the ground. The sports ball may operate in different modes that control movement of the sports ball relative to the one or more locator tags, such as tag, chase, auto-return, side-to-side, and race. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
