MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043090 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 4, for 'an automated delivery system using visual address recognition and unmanned aerial vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Parthasarathi De; Dishani Roy; Tanmoy Ghosh; and Samiddha Chakraborti.
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: "An automated drone-based delivery system is disclosed which integrates computer vision-based address plate recognition with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. The system comprises a drone equipped with navigation, stabilization, and imaging capabilities designed to capture real-time visual data of delivery locations. Through advanced image processing, the system extracts textual information from address plates and performs a comparative validation against pre-stored delivery records. Payload delivery is executed autonomously only after successful verification of the physical address, thereby enhancing precision in areas where GPS signals are insufficient. The invention is particularly suited for contactless logistics, emergency medical services, and delivery to remote or topographically challenging regions."
