MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025045 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on March 3, for 'a two-wheeled self-balancing robotic apparatus configured to maintain upright dynamic stability.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Kathirvelan J; Ms. Arnesh Das; Mr. Suryavadhani AVN; Mr. Vk Muralikrishna; and Mr. Soham Sanjyot Shete.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a two-wheeled self-balancing robotic apparatus configured to maintain upright dynamic stability during operation. The apparatus comprises a vertically oriented chassis supporting two laterally spaced wheels driven by independently controlled DC geared motors through a motor driver module. An Arduino-based microcontroller receives real-time motion data from an inertial measurement unit including a gyroscope and accelerometer, such as an MPU6050 sensor, via an I2C interface. The microcontroller determines the tilt angle of the chassis relative to a vertical axis and generates corrective motor commands using a closed-loop stabilization controller. The wheels are driven in forward or reverse directions to reposition the chassis beneath its center of gravity, thereby maintaining balance. The system further integrates compact modular arrangement of sensing, processing, power supply, and actuation components, enabling improved stability, reduced signal latency, and enhanced balancing response."
