PU Innovation Centre patents robotic lawn mower
Panjab University's Design Innovation Centre has created a special robot called the 'Grass Printer'.
This robot can cut grass at different heights to make letters, symbols, and patterns on lawns.
It works by itself and can be controlled through a mobile app.
The robot can be used in places like airports, sports stadiums, and university campuses to create nice designs on the grass.
The invention was made by Professor Naveen Aggarwal and his team, and it helps make landscaping easier and more fun.
The robot can learn the area once and then work on its own, making it very useful for big places.
Panjab University’s Design Innovation Centre received a patent for the 'Grass Printer', an autonomous robotic lawn mower.
The robot can cut grass at different heights to create patterns, letters, and symbols on lawns.
Users can control the robot through a mobile application to input desired text or patterns.
The technology can be applied in various settings such as airports, sports stadiums, and university campuses.
The robot features a multi-level cutting system, manual training mode, and autonomous operation capabilities.
