MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621030056 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 12, for 'apparatus and method for aerial pesticide application.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Jitendra Saxena; Dr. Ritu Tandon; Shreyansh Patel; and Deepesh Pal.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An apparatus (100) for aerial pesticide application comprises a structural airframe (102) comprising bio-based composite material, a set of electric motors (104) mounted to the structural airframe (102), a photovoltaic panel (106) operatively connected to a rechargeable battery (108), and a regenerative brake (110) in electrical communication with the set of electric motors (104) and the rechargeable battery (108). A hardware processor (112) controls the set of electric motors (104) for autonomous flight navigation and coordinates energy flow between the photovoltaic panel (106), the regenerative brake (110), and the rechargeable battery (108). The hardware processor (112) detects back-electromotive force generated by the set of electric motors (104) during descent and controls the regenerative brake (110) to convert the back-electromotive force into charging current for the rechargeable battery (108), achieving carbon-neutral operation through dual renewable energy generation exceeding operational consumption."
