MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521129553 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Sangli, Maharashtra, on Dec. 20, 2025, for 'ai-enabled autonomous agricultural rover with dual diagnosis, adaptive spraying, swarm coordination, and hybrid power system.'
Inventor(s) include Atharv Mahesh Mudse; Tushar Kalias Jadhav; Riddhi Anirudha Wagh; Sandhyarani Uttam Patil; Prof. Shital Appaso Lavate; and Dr. Prasad V. Shinde.
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: "This invention describes an autonomous agricultural rover capable of detecting and treating plant diseases with precision in multi-crop systems. It integrates subsurface soil probes and canopy imaging sensors to simultaneously identify root-zone and foliar infections. A dynamic, multi-chamber fluid reservoir enables real-time formulation of customized organic treatments for multiple concurrent disease or nutrient conditions. The rover geo-tags detections to build spatiotemporal disease heat maps, while onboard AI predicts disease spread patterns. Swarm-enabled coordination allows multiple rovers to communicate, divide field zones, and optimize coverage. A hybrid solar-regenerative power system sustains prolonged field operation without recharging. The rover can function in daylight or night conditions using infrared and hyperspectral imaging. This intelligent, energy-efficient platform enhances precision, reduces chemical overuse, and enables continuous, autonomous disease management-particularly suited for intercropped and resource-diverse agricultural ecosystems."
