MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621042667 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on April 2, for 'apparatus and method for autonomous aerial delivery of payload to remote location.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Prof. Dimpal Sahu; Prof. Madhumita Gupta; Prof. Suranjit Kosta; Anshuman Singh Baghel; Abhishek Barua; Dhruv Gupta; and Gauri Banduke.
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 present disclosure relates to autonomous aerial delivery of a payload to a remote location. The apparatus (102) includes a MCU (104) and a payload release assembly 106 operatively coupled to the MCU (104). The MCU (104) computes a terrain suitability map by classifying ground terrain below an unmanned aerial vehicle (202) into a plurality of surface categories, assigning a terrain suitability score to each terrain patch. The MCU (104) determines whether a contiguous safe zone of predetermined area exists at a delivery location based on the terrain suitability map. The payload release assembly (106) is actuated to command the unmanned aerial vehicle (202) to land when the terrain suitability score meets a predetermined suitability threshold, or to release a payload with a parachute at a release altitude calculated from measured wind conditions when the terrain suitability score falls below the predetermined suitability threshold."
