MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024432 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'application of internet of things (iot) in agriculture for the robotic pesticide sprayer.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. B. Yokesh Kumar; M, Jaswanth; and Dr. M. J. Hepsi Beaula.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "There are many types of pesticide sprayers available in India. But the most used sprayer is the backpack-type sprayer, which is used by farmers because it is cheaper, easy to use, and, the main thing about it is, less costly. With the help of this machine, farmers spray pesticides in their farm, but it requires a lot of time and thus has a high operational cost. Also, the farmer who is spraying pesticides is affected by it, as it is harmful to human health, and humans are also affected by the lumbar pain due to the weight of the equipment. This method used lots of time and affects human health adversely. This paper suggests machines that will save time and operational cost. Also saves humans from being adversely affected. The responsibility of controlling and managing the plant growth from the early stage to the mature harvest stage involves monitoring and identification of plant diseases, controlled irrigation, and controlled use of fertilizers and pesticides. We also employ the technique of image processing."
