MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095375 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Ai-Controlled Autonomous Drone Swarm System For Disaster Management And Response And Method Of Operation Thereof.
Inventors include Irfan Ahmad Pindoo; Indu Bala; Pawandeep Kaur; and Rahul Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The invention pertains to the technical field of autonomous systems and disaster management, specifically focusing on an AI- controlled autonomous drone swarm system designed for efficient disaster response. The system comprises a plurality of drones, each equipped with a suite of sensors including cameras, thermal imaging, and LiDAR, alongside a communication module for data exchange and coordination. Each drone features an onboard computer configured with AI-based processes for path planning, collision avoidance, and energy management, enabling autonomous operation and coordination within the swarm. A central control system oversees the swarm's operations, providing high-level directives and receiving real-time updates to adjust objectives as needed. The drones are capable of dynamically reconfiguring their coverage in response to evolving disaster scenarios, employing reinforcement learning to adapt behavior based on real-time data. The communication module is designed to establish networks in areas lacking conventional infrastructure, ensuring seamless coordination between emergency response teams.
