A method of maintaining artificial turf using a turf maintenance robot. The artificial turf comprises an artificial turf carpet, wherein the artificial turf carpet comprises turf fibers which form an artificial turf surface. The artificial turf fibers have a grain. The artificial turf comprises artificial turf infill distributed between the artificial turf fibers. The turf maintenance robot is a self driving robot, wherein the turf maintenance robot comprises a memory for storing turf grain data descriptive the grain of the artificial turf fibers. The method comprises brushing the artificial turf surface by the turf maintenance robot. The turf maintenance robot performs the brushing dependent upon the turf grain data.
An artificial turf includes an artificial turf infill. The artificial turf infill includes natural fiber mixed with rubber granulate. The artificial turf infill includes between 10% and 40% of the natural fiber by weight. The natural fiber includes any one of hemp fiber, cotton fiber, burlap fiber, sisal fiber, elephant grass fiber, or combinations thereof.
The invention provides for an artificial turf infill (602) for an artificial turf, wherein the artificial turf infill consists of granules (101), wherein the granules are made from unfoamed material, wherein the granules comprise
a compostable polymer selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid (PLA), thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPC), polybutylene succinate (PBS), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), a derivative thereof or a mixture thereof;
a filler material; and

International Bureau - rule 13.2.b) of the Common
Regulations).
The invention provides for a method of manufacturing artificial turf infill (202, 202', 202"). The method comprises providing (800) a base composition comprising a natural fiber (500), a at least one first type of of pigment, and a fluid binding agent. The fluid binding agent comprises at least one type of polymer component. The natural fiber comprises any one of the following: hemp fiber, burlap fiber, sisal fiber, elephant grass, cotton, coconut fiber, and combinations thereof. The method further comprises mixing (802) the base composition.
