MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621022867 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Walwa, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, for 'hybrid energy-harvesting adaptive suspension system for off-road vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Sanskruti Nivas Pisal; Ganesh Anil Yalaparatte; Aditya Shital Patil; Ashutosh Shivanand Ringane; Prof. Ansar A Mulla; Prof. Shweta S. Patil; and Prof. Arati Gawade.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Hybrid Energy-Harvesting Adaptive Suspension System for Off-Road Vehicles This invention describes an AI-controlled hybrid regenerative suspension assembly for off-road and rugged-terrain vehicles is disclosed. The system integrates electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric energy harvesting mechanisms within a hydraulic suspension architecture to convert terrain-induced mechanical motion, high-frequency vibration, and thermally dissipated damping energy into usable electrical power. An electronic control unit analyzes real-time motion data and classifies terrain conditions to dynamically adjust damping behavior and energy conversion parameters, thereby optimizing ride stability and energy recovery concurrently. Harvested electrical energy is conditioned and intelligently distributed to vehicle subsystems or stored in auxiliary energy storage for later use. A fail-safe hydraulic bypass ensures uninterrupted suspension performance in the event of electrical subsystem malfunction or deactivation. The invention enhances operational endurance, reduces reliance on primary power sources, and provides resilient, adaptive suspension performance for vehicles operating under diverse and demanding terrain conditions."
