Inventor(s) include Mr. Riddhiraj Chanda; Mr. Ritam Das; Mr. Monodip Roy; Md. Ayan Akhtar Khan; Dr. Sandip Bhattacharya; Mr. Nagendar Yamsani; Dr. Sukanta Ghosh; Dr. Abir Chatterjee; and Dr. Subhajit Das.
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: "Next-Gen Pest Management: Smart Rover with AI-Based Adaptive Sound Emission The present invention relates to a smart, mobile, and non-chemical pest management system for agricultural applications. The system comprises a rover-based mobile platform integrated with an artificial intelligence enabled vision module configured to detect and classify agricultural pests in real time. Based on the identified pest species, the system generates and emits adaptive ultrasonic sound waves within a predefined frequency range through high-power piezoelectric transducers driven by an amplified control signal. A full-bridge boost converter is employed to provide high-voltage excitation to the transducers for effective pest repulsion in open-field environments. The system further includes a renewable-energy-assisted power management unit enabling autonomous operation. The invention provides an environmentally sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides by enabling selective, species-specific, and energy-efficient pest repulsion in agricultural fields."
