MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511122566 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'autonomous road marking and pothole repair system with ai-guided robotic arms and iot sensor network.'
Inventor(s) include Akshya Kubba; Dr. Rajanish Kumar Kaushal; Hardilkaran Singh Jhajj; and Priyanshu Kumar Jha.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an autonomous, AI-driven road maintenance system mounted on a wheeled mobile platform capable of performing road sign and lane marking painting, pothole detection, and pothole repair in a single integrated operation. The system employs high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, ground-penetrating radar, and IoT-enabled on-wheel sensors to continuously scan and analyse road surfaces in real time. An onboard AI processor classifies defects, geotags their locations, and prioritizes repair actions based on severity and traffic conditions. Robotic arms equipped with interchangeable end-effectors perform both large-scale highway maintenance and small, precision repairs. The platform supports autonomous or semi-autonomous navigation with built-in safety features. By unifying detection, mapping, and repair, the system reduces response time, minimizes manual intervention, lowers maintenance costs, and improves overall road safety and operational efficiency."
