MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007062 A) filed by T. John Institute Of Technology, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Jan. 23, for 'ai-powered agricultural robotics: automation for harvesting and field monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. H P Srinivasa; Dr. Asha S Manek; Dr. Chaya Ravindra; Ms. Madhavi Dixit; Ms. Kanika Chalana; and Ms. Shalini K V.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-powered agricultural robotics platform designed for autonomous harvesting and continuous field monitoring to improve efficiency, precision, and productivity in modern farming. The system integrates autonomous robotic units equipped with sensors, including visual, multispectral, LIDAR, soil, and environmental sensors, to assess crop maturity, detect pests and diseases, monitor soil and environmental conditions, and perform harvesting operations. AI algorithms analyze collected data to determine optimal harvesting strategies, control adaptive harvesting mechanisms, and plan autonomous navigation paths while avoiding obstacles. Machine learning models predict crop growth, estimate harvesting windows, and provide actionable insights for irrigation, fertilization, and pest management. Edge computing reduces latency and energy consumption, enabling real-time decision-making. By combining autonomous robotics, AI, predictive analytics, and precision sensing, the invention automates labor-intensive tasks, optimizes resource usage, enhances yield quality, and supports scalable, sustainable, and data-driven agricultural operations."
