MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002057 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'rit: real-time intelligent turf system for smart sports grounds.'
Inventor(s) include Devyansh Batra; and Aaskaran Bishnoi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Real-time Intelligent Turf System (RIT) is an AI-powered solution designed to enhance the maintenance efficiency and performance of sports grounds and stadium turfs. The system integrates a network of environmental and activity sensors, including soil moisture, UV, temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, and rain sensors, with artificial intelligence and machine learning models to enable real-time monitoring, intelligent irrigation, and predictive maintenance. Employing image recognition techniques such as YOLOv5 and U-Net segmentation along with time-series forecasting models like LSTM and ARIMA, RIT detects turf wear, predicts usage trends, and dynamically adapts irrigation strategies based on ground conditions, weather, and foot traffic. Sensor data is processed through microcontrollers such as ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, transmitted via LoRaWAN, and visualized through a real-time dashboard. The modular, solar-powered, and eco-friendly design reduces water usage, minimizes manual intervention, and ensures consistent playing conditions for modern sports infrastructure."
