MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641088377 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on July 20, 2026, for Sensor-Based Adaptive Washing Machine.
Inventors include Vidhya V; Pankaj Shukla; Saurav Gupta; Harsh Yadav; Avishkar Jaiswal; Shahan Sahay; Kushagra Sarswat; and Ayush Kumar Singh.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: A washing machine device (100) comprising a housing (102), a rotatable drum (104), a door (106), a sensing and control unit (108), a camera (110), a revolving dial (112), a soap handling box (114), a heating element (116), a turbidity sensor (118), a waste outlet (120), a vibration damper (122), and a weight sensor (124). The sensing and control unit (108) receives load data from the weight sensor (124), turbidity data from the turbidity sensor (118), and image data from the camera (110), and processes sensor data to regulate washing parameters. Based on the generated index, the sensing and control unit (108) assigns a safety envelope including permissible temperature and agitation limits and controls drum rotation, heating operation, detergent dispensing, and discharge timing. Prior to a spin stage, the sensing and control unit (108) executes a load redistribution sequence based on imbalance signals from the weight sensor (124), so as to provide coordinated multi-sensor adaptive washing control.
