MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421016952 A) filed by G. H. Raisoni College Of Engineering; and G. H. R. Labs And Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on March 8, 2024, for 'a rocket landing system.'
Inventor(s) include Sayane, Ankit; Rathod, Ashwin Kumar; Galhat, Chetan; Shidurkar, Chaitanya; Bopche, Hardik; Keswani, Vinay; and Nagrale, Niraj.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is related to a rocket landing system. The simulated environment, powered by the Unity game engine, encompasses the rocket and a designated landing site. Through observation and decision-making, the AI agent is trained to adjust critical parameters such as rocket height, angles, and thrust to achieve successful landings. Rewards for successful landings drive the agent's learning process, facilitated by a neural network updated iteratively during training. While the simulation disregards atmospheric conditions, the agent employs advanced landing strategies including a suicide burn approach and control of thrust vector and reaction control systems. This innovative approach, validated through rigorous evaluation metrics, holds promise for advancing space exploration by optimizing rocket landing efficiency and reducing costs."
