MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541112327 A) filed by Dr. K. M. Dhanalakshmi; Ashika S; and S. A. Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 17, 2025, for 'ai based navigation system using autonomous robot.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. K. M. Dhanalakshmi; and Ashika S.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Students, faculty, staff, and visitors at modern educational institutions may find it challenging to identify the quickest and most efficient routes to various destinations. In this context, the Artificial Intelligence-based Navigation System using Autonomous Robot addresses this problem with a real-time, autonomous navigation aid. This autonomous robot utilizes advanced technologies such as LiDAR and artificial intelligence to detect obstacles, understand its environment, and guide users to their desired destinations on campus. With a very easy-to-use interface, the robot enables its users to specify where to go and provides them with step-by-step navigation. Alternatively, the system can flexibly reoptimize in the context of environmental changes, e.g., due to the emergence of construction zones or bottlenecks. This system offers an online, self-directed way to find assistance to these campus buildings, assisting visitors while navigating to important destinations such as classrooms, libraries, and administrative offices without any human assistance."
