Axar patel with iPl’s robot dog. (PTI) New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is trying to bring new features and aspects to cover one of the largest sports league every year and undoubtedly the largest cricket league. This year the robotic dog became a cynosud of all eyes.After the appointment of “Champak”, which resulted in a court at the High Court in Delhi, after a crowdsourcing, he made his debut on April 13 at the ARUN Jaitley stadium during the match between the capitals of Delhi and the Indians in Mumbai.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe!A curious looking device is a product of WTVision, a global leader in the field of broadcasting, in cooperation with the technical partner Omnicam and the Board of Trustees in India (BCCI).Equipped with a microphone, a speaker, a built -in module of voice recognition and voice interaction, a four -legged robot, shaped as a dog, interacts with players, referees and spectators during matches. The range of interactions ranges from handshakes, jumps, heart gestures and even Namaste to coach Rajasthan Royals Rahul Dravid.The aim of the robotic dog was to “add another taste or color to the broadcast”, explains Ahluwalia, founder and director of WTVision Solutions PVT. Ltd., which is located in Noida.“We did not come and said, well, we want to do a dog. We were looking for something that is controlled by technology, and something that is not completely cricket and something that would work in this setting,” says Ahluwalia.“When we came across (that), we saw a few things and a lot of things came together and we seized this product. And when we saw it, we saw the potential around it. It seemed happy to be around, because you’ve seen a robot to be really dry and technology. ”The product was in production for six months and was kept under the wrap because the conversation took place with BCCi and transmitters. During this process, they identified the need to insert the camera to present a look from the “dog”.“The challenge was that it was a very shifty platform and the camera shots would be very unstable and shaken. So we had to get a gimbal in a place that would withstand it. And not only lasts, it must have been very, very small, almost miniaturized,” explains Ahluwalia.

“And because it is remotely controlled, we also had to make a video transmitter based on the RF (radio frequency). And we had to make a tilting mechanism, all the remote controls. And yet it had to be very, very small,” adds the explanation of the technical challenges.Hiccups don’t stop there. Only one robot means that it must be dismantled after every use at night iPL and then travel to the next place. Upon arrival, it is assembled within an hour and a half before magic can start again.

The logistics challenges around traveling with hardware also persist. A specialized team is required to limit the battery capacity to years to work in a tandem for an eight -day tournament.His first glances on social media have created a lot of noise. 95,000 times with 255 reposts were monitored on X. On Instagram, it harvested 576,000 likes. The reaction surprised their team.“We knew it would have a role. We knew the players would communicate with her. We knew we would get good shots.”“We knew there would be some traction. But when they put the whole piece together, and when they started giving out their promo, it is when we realized,” Oh, it can go (v) in this direction.What began as an experimental concept for improving viewers’ experience with the ever-evolving IPL became a viral mascot of species-enagging players, fans and millions of viewers.
