MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521097807 A) filed by Larsen & Toubro Limited, Maharashtra, on Oct. 10, 2025, for 'a system and method for decentralized auction-based task allocation and execution.'
Inventor(s) include Aakash Santosh Chaphalkar; Rohan Sanjay Wagmare; Vijay Vinay Garg; Sunil Anil Vasave; Anushka Sinha; and Ramchandra Balankar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A decentralized framework for heterogeneous autonomous swarm missions is provided, integrating autonomous platforms (100) equipped with a compute and communications backbone (128) that hosts a task manager framework. This framework comprises a task repository (102) for unassigned tasks defined by spatial elements, temporal constraints, resource demands, and priority weights; a bid calculation module (104) that computes scalar bid values based on platform capabilities and task requirements; and communication modules including a communicator module (106), voting module (108), and winner election module (110) which collectively enable a five-stage loop of task selection, bidding, voting, winner determination, and execution. Additional modules for execution planning (112), progress reporting (114), anomaly handling (116), task reassignment (118), task generation (120), and periodic broadcast control (122) ensure dynamic task updates and reallocation without a central controller."
