MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017933 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 18, for 'a bio-adaptive assistive navigation system with gait-synchronized alert latency control.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. J Jayashree; Harsh Anand; Lakshit Shrimali; and Shreshth Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bio-adaptive assistive navigation system (100) for visually impaired users that integrates environmental hazard detection with real-time gait stability monitoring. The system comprises an environmental sensing unit, an inertial sensing unit, a processing unit, and an alert output interface. Environmental data is analysed to evaluate hazard conditions, while motion data is processed to determine a gait stability state of the user. Based on the determined gait stability state, the processing unit controls the timing, intensity, and modality of hazard alerts using stability-gated alerting logic (400) and a gait-synchronized latency mechanism (600) such that alerts are synchronised with biomechanically stable gait phases. Alert modality selection (500) and bio-adaptive risk coefficient analysis (700) further enable prioritisation of hazards based on user stability. By operating as a closed-loop bio-adaptive system, the invention reduces alert-induced instability while maintaining effective hazard awareness during assisted navigation."
