Kutan is a mobile robot for outdoor camping, tackling key issues like limited power and lack of entertainment. Used at commercial campgrounds, it charges devices, powers electric vehicles, and offers features like lighting, WiFi, and projectors. It makes camping comfortable and connected, blending nature with convenient tech through shared services.

Kutan is a mobile robot for camping, combining power supply, electric vehicle charging, and entertainment in one. Unlike fixed stations or basic power banks, it’s summoned via app and moves to you using radar and infrared sensors. It offers multiple power outlets, smart lighting, a projector, and WiFi/Bluetooth, making outdoor spaces more functional and fun through a shared service platform.

Kutan has a sleek, minimalist look with the toughness needed for outdoor use. Its clean design, sturdy wheels, and compact shape make it stable and nimble on various terrains. The recyclable plastic shell highlights eco-friendliness. A front display shows clear status info and a friendly "face" to make interaction easy and engaging. The built-in charging handle and pop-out projector blend practicality with style.

You can find, call, and rent the robot through a simple mobile app. It drives itself to you, equipped with power outlets, electric vehicle charging, adjustable lighting for tasks or mood, a built-in projector, and Bluetooth speakers. The app lets you check its status, control features, and pay easily. At night, it boosts safety and creates a great vibe. When you're done, it heads back to its solar-powered charging station, ready for the next user, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.

By combining proven technologies like robotics, battery management, IoT, and solar energy, this concept is highly practical. A shared rental model paired with electricity fees offers campsite operators a sustainable revenue stream. Centralized solar charging stations reduce reliance on the power grid and lessen environmental impact. By promoting shared resources and tapping into the strengths of the new energy sector, Kutan has created an innovative, sustainable "New Energy + Tourism" service model.
