MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441104945 A) filed by Sumana Mandal; and Abiramm Ranganathan, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Dec. 31, 2024, for 'a hybrid self driving ground vehicle and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Sumana Mandal; and Abiramm Ranganathan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to hybrid self-driving ground vehicle (100) for autonomous navigation. In one embodiment, the hybrid self-driving ground vehicle (100) comprises a mobility platform (102) configured to actuate movement of the vehicle, an odometry sensor system (104) configured to continuously estimate translational and rotational motion of the mobility platform, a visual sensing system (106) comprising plurality of two-dimensional camera configured to acquire image data of an environment, an obstacle detection system (108) configured to detect dynamic and static obstacles, one or more processors (110, 112) operatively coupled to the odometry sensor system, the visual sensing system, and the obstacle detection system, wherein the one or more processors configured to: select between an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) operational mode and an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) operational mode, continuously localize the vehicle using the odometry sensor system, intermittently perform environment mapping at selected keyframes by processing image data from the two-dimensional cameras to generate and update a two-dimensional navigation-oriented representation of the environment and autonomously navigate the vehicle within the environment while maintaining positional accuracy through intermittent calibration."
