Surya Sankar; Dr. G. Sundar; and Dr. R. Senthilkumar, Palladam, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 8, 2025, for 'intelligent proximity autonomous defense system.'

Inventor(s) include Priyadarshan; Dr. B. Tharani; Mr. S. Mohammed Sudir; Mr. M. Muthu Gokul; Mr. S. P. Surya Sankar; Dr. G. Sundar; and Dr. R. Senthilkumar.

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: "This project involves the development of an Intelligent Proximity Autonomous Defense System capable of detecting obstacles within a 1-meter range and automatically neutralizing them through a built-in shooting mechanism. The system functions without human intervention by using proximity sensors, such as ultrasonic or infrared, to continuously scan its surroundings. When an object is detected within the defined range, the system processes the information through a microcontroller, locks onto the target, and activates the firing mechanism. This real-time detection and response highlight the principles of autonomous decision-making and precision targeting. The robot demonstrates how embedded systems, sensor integration, and actuator control can work together to simulate an effective short-range defense mechanism. The project is designed as a functional prototype suitable for applications in automated surveillance, military training robots, robotics competitions, and close-combat simulations. It offers a safe and controlled approach to simulate threat detection and response, making it ideal for demonstration purposes. Future improvements may include features such as object classification, adaptive targeting, and wireless monitoring. Overall, this project showcases the growing role of intelligent robotics in enhancing automation and security, providing a compact and efficient solution for short-range autonomous defense operations."
