Is your golf game missing the final putt? Don't fear there is a robotic aid to help you. The robotic aid was designed by Katherine Kuchenbecker at the University of Pennsylvania. People on the last stage trying to make it in the 10-centimeter-hole, there is little room for mistake. So the people at the University have designed a putter that will line you up with the hole. This putter will be 1.5 metre-long by 70 centimetre wide metal training frame. As the person starts to swing the putter will a line its self it the position it needs to be in. The golfer will feel the force of the putter pull or push to correct the stand. Early test show it works so far.
