MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511104121 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Oct. 29, 2025, for 'a smart iot-enabled uav platform for disaster prediction and emergency response.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sayar Singh Shekhawat; and Dr. Prashant Vats.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent disaster management system comprising Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for real-time disaster monitoring, assessment, and response. The system comprises ground-based IoT sensors configured to continuously collect environmental parameters including temperature, humidity, seismic activity, gas levels, and flood conditions, transmitting the data to a central control unit. Upon detecting abnormal conditions, UAVs equipped with high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, and communication modules are autonomously deployed to affected areas for rapid situational analysis. The system further comprises AI-driven data processing for hazard classification, damage estimation, and optimal resource allocation. UAVs relay live information to emergency teams, enabling prompt decision-making and coordinated response. The system enhances disaster preparedness, reduces response time, and facilitates rescue operations in hazardous or inaccessible regions."
