    Autonomous divot repair for golf courses

    Read the FAQ

    Divotron is an autonomous divot repair robot for golf courses. It is designed to find divots using cameras and AI, drive to each one, and fill it with repair material. Our aim is to take on that repetition, giving your team more time for the finer details and higher-skill tasks.

    Divotron Vision, our first prototype, has been tested on real turf, covering movement and material delivery. Divotron Pioneer robots for the Founding Partner Program are planned for the 2027 season. Divotron is a Canadian company working out of Velocity at the University of Waterloo.

    HOW IT WORKS

    One robot, from detection to repair

    Divotron is an autonomous robot designed to find and fill divots. This is how it is intended to work on your course.

    1. Find the divot

      Cameras and real-time AI detect divots in the turf.

    2. Drive to it

      The robot navigates between repairs and avoids obstacles along the way.

    3. Fill it

      A dispenser delivers repair material into each divot.

    4. Keep going

      The robot keeps filling while it has repair material and battery charge.

    Software platform

    The Divotron software platform is designed to tie these steps together: real-time AI turns camera and sensor data into repair decisions, and the navigation software moves the robot from one repair to the next.

    FOUNDING PARTNER PROGRAM

    Work with Divotron on your course

    The Founding Partner Program lets golf courses be among the first to work with Divotron Pioneer robots. We are taking on a small number of Founding Partner courses.
