MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641107221 A) filed by Mlr Institute Of Technology; and Marri Laxman Reddy Institute Of Technology And Management on September 07, 2026, for Smart Agricultural Vision-Guided Robot For Automated Weed Detection And Removal.
Inventors include Ms. Akhila Akula; Mr. Krishna Swamy Tejesh Kumar; Mr. Appari Venkata Sai Teja; and Mr. M. Vikas.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a smart agricultural vision-guided robotic system for automated weed detection and removal. The system utilizes an ESP32-CAM module to capture real-time images of crops and weeds in agricultural fields. The captured images are processed using machine learning algorithms to accurately distinguish between crops and weeds based on visual features such as color, texture, and shape. Upon identification of weeds, control signals are generated to activate a mechanical cutting mechanism for selective removal. The invention provides a low-cost, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional weed control methods that rely on manual labor or chemical herbicides. By integrating embedded systems, wireless communication, and intelligent decision-making, the proposed system enhances precision farming, reduces environmental impact, and improves agricultural productivity.
