There are two modes of connection in the robot, Wi-Fi, for the short distance such as 100m and cloud for longer distance. The design of the robot is inspired from the animation character ‘Wall - E’.
As it is hard to work under the extreme hot climate for hours to cut grass, the necessity of the track mower robot is significant. By this Track Mower Robot, grass cutting can now be done while being in the comfort of a home or anywhere, say students who developed it.
The robot has been developed by Sharon Varghese; Susruth K.S.; Rosemol V.S.; and Justin Jose; under the guidance of Vishnu Shaji and Dr. Rakesh Hari.
