MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611025725 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on March 5, for 'ai-controlled self-adjusting dog leash with dynamic tension and length regulation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Garima Thakur; Dr. Nandni Sharma; Dr. Rohit Kumar; Dr. Sachin Kumar; and Dr. Sachin Thakur.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart dog leash system capable of dynamically adjusting leash length and tension in real time based on a dog's movement and behavior. The system comprises a motorized reel, tension sensor, and motion sensing module including an accelerometer and gyroscope, all connected to a microcontroller executing artificial intelligence algorithms. Sensor data is analyzed to classify behaviors such as calm walking, pulling, or lunging, and the motorized reel automatically extends, retracts, or locks the leash accordingly. The system includes predictive behavior analysis to anticipate sudden movements, minimizing physical strain and enhancing safety for both the dog and handler. Wireless connectivity enables integration with a mobile application for real-time monitoring, mode selection, and behavioral analytics. The present invention provides an adaptive, intelligent, and user-friendly solution that significantly improves control, safety, and comfort compared to conventional or existing smart dog leashes."
