MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541116649 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 25, 2025, for 'design and fabrication vision assisted remote controlled mini forklift for precision load alignment and payload handling.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Santhosh N; Nidharshan Ganesan; Harish S; Harish T; and Joshua Jenit K.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the design and fabrication of a vision-assisted, remotecontrolled mini forklift intended for precision load alignment and payload handling. The system integrates mechanical, electronic, and vision-based components to achieve accurate and safe material handling in confined environments. The forklift is operated wirelessly via a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interface, while a mounted camera provides real-time visual feedback to the operator for precise positioning of the forks. The lifting mechanism utilizes a lead-screw or linear actuator controlled by a microcontroller, and obstacle detection sensors ensure operational safety. Powered by a rechargeable 12 V battery, the prototype offers smooth control, stability, and modular design for academic and research purposes. The invention provides a cost-effective and educational platform to demonstrate modern automation principles, vision-guided control, and smart materialhandling technology suitable for pattern-based engineering projects."
