MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541126529 A) filed by Vardhaman College Of Engineering, Ranga Reddy, Telangana, on Dec. 14, 2025, for 'soft robotics gripper control using ai-based tactile feedback.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Mohammad Bilal J; Mr. Bharath A; Mr. M Vinay Kumar; Ms. Pallikonda Kaveri; Ms. Jannu Swetha Priyanka; and Dr. Md Asif.
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: "Soft Robotics Gripper Control Using AI-Based Tactile Feedback is the proposed invention. The proposed invention is an AI-powered soft robotic gripper control system that utilizes tactile feedback for precise, adaptive, and safe object manipulation. The system combines compliant soft robotics with embedded high-resolution tactile sensors to detect pressure, texture, and slippage in real time. Machine learning algorithms analyze this sensory data to predict optimal grip parameters including contact force, finger positioning, and deformation strategies allowing dynamic adjustment to objects of varying sizes, shapes, and fragility. The AI-driven control commands are executed by flexible actuators, forming a closed-loop system that continuously adapts to environmental changes and object behavior. This technology enables robust handling of delicate and irregular items, improves industrial and assistive robotic applications, reduces operational errors, and enhances overall manipulation efficiency, reliability, and safety."
