MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051781 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Warangal, Telangana, on April 23, for 'a self-adaptive intelligent smart agriculture system for cotton farming using raspberry pi with multi-sensor fusion and real-time decision optimization.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Raju Bhukya.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a self-adaptive intelligent smart agriculture system for cotton farming using Raspberry Pi for real-time monitoring and automated irrigation control. The system integrates multiple environmental sensors, including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity sensors, to continuously collect field data. A data acquisition module preprocesses and validates the sensor inputs, which are further processed using a multi-sensor fusion module to generate a composite environmental index representing field conditions. A cotton crop growth stage-based decision module determines irrigation requirements based on predefined and adaptive thresholds corresponding to different growth stages. A decision optimization module computes irrigation timing and duration using real-time and historical data. The system actuates water pumps and valves through relay-based control, forming a closed-loop system. A communication module enables remote monitoring and alerts. The system improves water efficiency, crop yield, and operational reliability in precision cotton farming."
