MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531097609 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Oct. 9, 2025, for 'swarm bot for defence and medical application.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Susmita Das; Soumayadeep Pal; and Avrajeet Ghosh.
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: "Swarm robotics system for Defence and Medical application, in a distributed and decentralized way multi-robotics, is involved or participated in the form of large number of robots. The main application-oriented goal of the Swarm-bots is to study and understand the controlling of the slave bots assembled into structures. Swarm-bot is made of master and slave where the master controls the slave using Radio Frequency wave operated modules to carry out the dedicated job. A Swarm-bot is connected with number of identical robots, called slave bots, which are wirelessly connected. The Swarm-bot is present with self-arranged feature. This challenging work initiates the functionality of the Swarm-bot assembly with one master and two numbers of slaves as the prototype development and gives presentation about its application as transportation bot in defence and medical fields.Swarm robotics has the potential to transform healthcare by improving efficiency, enhancing patient care, and increasing accuracy. Recovery process allows the swarm to get rid of different issues caused by short-falls of each and every bots. The aim is to almost eliminate the effect of robot performance failure on the remaining part of the swarm to improve the overall reliability, robustness, and performance.Reproduction process by its own allows an array of bots either to create newer design of robots or mimic the pattern generated from many other systems. The aim is to increase the self sufficiency of the swarm by reducing the requirement of a human operator to create new bots."
