MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043995 A) filed by Devadharshini S; Dharaniga Sri R; Monisha V; Yogavarshini; Nivitha S; Nivithra C; and Pooranakiran D, Ariyalur, Tamil Nadu, on April 6, for 'cropshield ai: autonomous crop monitoring robot.'
Inventor(s) include Devadharshini S; Dharaniga Sri R; Monisha V; Yogavarshini; Nivitha S; Nivithra C; and Pooranakiran D.
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: "Crop diseases continue to be a major threat to productivity and food security, despite agriculture being one of the most important industries for maintaining human life. Early disease detection is essential to preventing extensive harm, but conventional approaches mostly rely on physical monitoring, which is frequently ineffective and time-consuming. In order to enhance crop monitoring and protection, this study proposes a smart agricultural system that integrates automation, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The system uses sensors and image acquisition methods to continuously monitor plant conditions. It detects plant problems early on and reacts by notifying the farmer and starting automated processes. The system also includes cloud-based data storage for remote monitoring, yield prediction utilizing gathered data, and autonomous navigation via path planning. In field situations, a self-charging system guarantees continuous operation. The suggested method improves precision, minimizes manual labor, and supports effective and sustainable farming methods."
