MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521105790 A) filed by PVG's College of Engineering & Shrikrushna S. Dhamankar Institute of Management, Nashik, Maharashtra, on Nov. 1, for 'a remote-controlled underwater rescue system, and method of operation thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Pangavhane, Sagar. M.; Bhalerao, Manoj V.; Hande, Nikhil Mahendra; Ambekar, Snehal Sanjay; and Mahale, Isha Chandrakant.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein is a compact underwater rescue vehicle operable from a safe standoff location via an RF remote that transmits encoded commands decoded by an onboard Arduino microcontroller (104), wherein the microcontroller (104) manages sensor fusion (sonar (109) and infrared (110)), autonomy routines and actuation setpoints. The rescue vehicle (102) is having a dual-battery architecture isolating a control battery for electronics from a high-current LiPo battery for propulsion, and Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) convert microcontroller (104) setpoints into precise drive currents for BLDC thrusters, providing responsive maneuvering in strong currents and debris. Further, the onboard sensor fusion guides approach trajectories and triggers a mechanical gripping mechanism (111) to secure victims or payloads, while telemetry and waterproof communications maintain team coordination. The application of the invention includes rapid flood search, victim retrieval and hazardous-area inspection without exposing rescuers."
