MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063610 A) filed by Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute Of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 20, for 'adaptive edge-ai neuro-responsive autonomous smart wheelchair system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Vinoth John Prakash; and Dr. Priya. R. A.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an adaptive edge-artificial intelligence-based neuro-responsive autonomous smart wheelchair system for intelligent mobility assistance and healthcare monitoring. The system comprises an electrooculography signal acquisition module configured to detect patient eye movement patterns, an edge-artificial intelligence processing unit configured to perform adaptive intention recognition, a multi-modal sensor fusion framework integrating environmental sensing and physiological monitoring, and an autonomous mobility control subsystem configured for predictive navigation and obstacle avoidance. The invention further incorporates real-time health monitoring for heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature, and fatigue analysis to dynamically modify wheelchair operation during abnormal physiological conditions. The system performs collision prediction, unsafe terrain detection, autonomous safety intervention, and adaptive route optimization using low-latency edge-computing architecture. The invention further enables continuous patient-specific learning for improving navigation accuracy, safety, accessibility, and rehabilitation assistance in intelligent healthcare and assistive mobility applications."
