Inventor(s) include Dr. Poodipeddi S. V. K. S. V. Krishna Kiran; Jahed Khan; Bongu Hari Hara Charan; Nammi Triguna Sri; Mandarada Meghana; Nagabhatla Kameswara Sarma; Dr. D. B. V. Jagannadham; and Dr. E. Jagadeeswara Rao.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system (100) for detecting, localizing, and responding to safety events involving humans in aquatic environments. The AI-based system (100) comprises plurality of capturing units (102), a control system (104), and plurality of buoyant rescue devices (110). The artificial intelligence (AI)-based system (100) operates autonomously without continuous human supervision or manual intervention, thereby reducing response time in emergency situations. The AI-based system (100) can accurately determine the location of a person in distress using sensor-based or reference-based techniques without reliance on continuous network connectivity or global positioning systems. The AI-based system (100) can intelligently verify distress conditions, adapt response actions based on situational factors, and coordinate one or more autonomous response units to safely assist individuals in diverse and dynamic water environments."
