MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621032547 A) filed by Dr. Gauri Borkhade; Manasvi Mengade; Shruti Pawar; Komal Ture; and Pallavi Mane, Maharashtra, on March 18, for 'solar based presticide sprayer robot.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Gauri Borkhade; Manasvi Mengade; Shruti Pawar; Komal Ture; and Pallavi Mane.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Pesticide spraying is a must in modern farming, but inside greenhouses, it's a whole different beast. Heat, humidity, and lousy ventilation make the health risks even worse. When workers spray by hand, they're right in the thick of dangerous chemicals-breathing them in, getting them on their skin, and honestly, putting in way more muscle than anyone should. Efficiency takes a hit, too. So, here's the fix: a solar-powered robot that handles pesticide spraying automatically. Workers don't have to stay in the greenhouse while it goes about its job, meaning way fewer health hazards and less back-breaking labor. Solar energy keeps the robot running, which really helps in rural spots where electricity isn't reliable. Maintenance stays simple. An Arduino Uno controls the thing, and you run it wirelessly with a smartphohe and Bluetooth. The system even mixes pesticides and water in the right ratio, making sure the spray is even and pests are kept in check. Right now, the prototype works well for small and medium-sized greenhouses. Still, it proves that automated spraying can actually work" and shows a lot of promise for more advanced agriculture down the line."
