MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631031264 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 16, for 'ai-powered self-healing drone mesh network for disaster management.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Bingshati Mondal; Dr. Nabanita Das; Ms. Swarnali Daw; Priyanshu Singh; and Aditya Nandi.
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 invention provides an AI-powered, self-healing drone mesh network designed for emergency communication restoration and disaster management. The system comprises a plurality of autonomous drones, each acting as a network node equipped with an onboard AI module that monitors link stability and battery status. Upon detecting node failure or signal degradation, the AI autonomously reconfigures the network topology by repositioning drones and adjusting transmission parameters without human intervention. Integrated sensors, including thermal cameras and LiDAR, allow for real-time survivor detection and 3D terrain mapping. Every drone serves as a relay, ensuring continuous data transmission to a command center even in infrastructure-denied environments. The system overcomes the limitations of centralized aerial systems through decentralized intelligence and adaptive coordination."
