MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411096763 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 07, 2024, for Autonomous Underwater Exploration Vehicle With Integrated Navigation And Sampling Systems.

Inventor includes Sandeep Kumar Paul.

The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Autonomous Underwater Exploration Vehicle (AUEV) equipped with advanced integrated navigation and sampling systems, designed for precise underwater exploration and data collection. The AUEV features a navigation system comprising a GPS receiver for surface positioning, strategically placed sonar sensors for obstacle detection, and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for tracking orientation and acceleration. A Kalman filter-based fusion algorithm synthesizes data from these components to ensure accurate positioning and effective obstacle avoidance. The vehicle includes a communication system with an acoustic modem for underwater data transmission and an optical communication module for high-speed surface data transfer. A modular sampling system with customizable modules, automated collection and storage mechanisms, and integrated sensors monitors environmental parameters such as water temperature, salinity, and pH. An AI-driven mission planning system, utilizing machine learning algorithms, enables adaptive mission planning and real-time data analysis, dynamically adjusting the vehicle's course and objectives.
