MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641122631 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on October 13, 2026, for A System To Predict And Report Behaviour Of Captive Elephant Before Going Berserk.

Inventors include N. Santhosh; V Gopikrishna; R Vicrant Aravindhan; and M Vishal.

The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.

Abstract: A system 100 to monitor behavior of captive elephants 102 includes a plurality of wearable sensors 104 to sense physiological, behavioral, and environmental parameters of the elephant 102; an edge AI-enabled microcontroller 108 including a database 114, one or more processors to perform operations to receive real-time data sensed by the sensors 104 for fusion for real-time behavioural risk assessment; process fused data to generate meaningful data for risk analysis; calculate real-time physiological and behavioral risks-level using predefined rules, algorithms, and intelligent decision-making techniques; determines a dynamic safety zone around the elephant 102 based on the assessed risk level, elephant orientation, and motion direction; calculate crowd density information and expand or contract the safety boundary according to real-time crowd concentration and proximity to elephant 102; and generate real-time alerts to communicate adaptive safety recommendations to mahouts and concerned authorities through visual 118, audio 120, or wireless notifications 122.
