MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521117257 A) filed by Medha Wyawahare Suhas Bhise; Isha Yerme; Nandini Yelgulwar; Ragini Gabale; and Asmita Yadav, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 26, 2025, for 'robopet companion: ai-enabled robotic pet with human-following and interaction using esp32 and arduino uno.'
Inventor(s) include Medha Wyawahare; Suhas Bhise; Isha Yerme; Nandini Yelgulwar; Ragini Gabale; and Asmita Yadav.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "RoboPet Companion is a modular, AI-powered robotic pet that uses an ESP32 microcontroller as a voice assistant and an Arduino Uno for movement, sensor control, and gesture functions. The ESP32 receives voice commands through an INMP441 digital microphone, processes them with cloud-based AI, and outputs clear speech using a MAX98357A amplifier and a 3 W speaker. The Arduino Uno handles the robot's movement using motor driver modules (such as L293D/L298N/Adafruit Motor Shield), multiple DC motors, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for detecting obstacles, and IR sensors for edge and line tracking. An SG90 servo motor controls the head and ear movements, giving the robot expressive features and emotional responses. The ESP32 and Arduino Uno work together but independently, sharing a regulated power supply to ensure stable performance. The design is fully modular, allowing users to add sensors like temperature, cameras, or gas sensors, include communication modules like Bluetooth or wireless bridges, or add new actuators for future research or use. This makes RoboPet reliable for long-term use, highly expandable for educational and experimental purposes, and suitable for research, demos, and real-world personal robotics applications."
