Inventor(s) include Saraswati Vijaysingh Patil; Rakhi Jaykumar Bharadwaj; Tanish Anish Virmani; Ruturaj Ratnakar Limbkar; Nishad Ritesh Bobade; and Dhruv Anand Wani.
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: "The invention discloses an AI-Integrated Underwater Threat Mapping System utilizing a Raspberry Pi-based embedded platform to detect, classify, and visualize underwater threats in real time. The system combines dual-motor and fan-based propulsion for stable underwater mobility with an AI/ML detection module trained to identify potential threats such as naval mines or hazardous debris through image recognition. A database management module logs each detection event along with associated metadata, including timestamp, image capture, and spatial coordinates. The JavaScript-based visualization interface provides live video streaming, annotated detections, and historical analytics for risk zone mapping. The invention offers a cost-effective, intelligent, and fully integrated solution for underwater surveillance, defense applications, and environmental monitoring-bridging the gap between autonomous mobility, Al-based perception, and data-driven situational awareness."
