MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018194 A) filed by Vel Tech Multi Tech Dr Rangarajan Dr Sakunthala Engineering College; Dr. V. Anish; Dr M. Selvam; Santhosh Kumar P; Diwakar S; and Hariharan S, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 18, for 'an automated guided vehicle employing real time path correction.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. V. Anish; Dr M. Selvam; Santhosh Kumar P; Diwakar S; and Hariharan S.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Automated guided vehicle refers a type of system that can be used in production as well as in other industries etc. This system includes a battery-operated remote sensing locomotive, specific path over which it moves, sensors for sensing the obstructions on the path of the carrier. The automated guided vehicle moves using the electric power from the battery. It moves with a low and constant speed on the prescribed path. The path has a specific colour (black). The bottom of the carrier have sensor which is always coupled with the path. The steering is done by the path. The front side of carrier vehicle contains sensors for sensing the obstructions on the path. Continues working cycles for making this project a reality. By this, there is ease in transporting materials or finished products from one work station to the other. The primary advantage of AGVs lies in their ability to streamline material flow while minimizing human intervention. By automating repetitive transport tasks, AGVs reduce labour costs, eliminate human error, and enhance workplace safety by decreasing accidents related to manual handling and vehicle operation. Modem AGVs are equipped with advanced sensors, such as LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, cameras, and safety bumpers, which enable obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and safe interaction with humans and other machines. These safety features ensure compliance with international industrial safety standards."
