MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621011092 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 2, for 'multi-sensor real-time fatigue detection system for industrial machine operators using physiological and behavioral monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Rohit Pawar; Bhumika Raut; Anushka Gahukar; and Shruti Yewale.
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: "The present invention discloses a multi-sensor real-time fatigue detection system (100) for industrial machine operators that integrates physiological monitoring with computer vision-based behavioral analysis. The system comprises a microcontroller unit (110) implemented using Arduino Uno, a physiological sensing module (120) incorporating a MAX30100 heart rate sensor (121) and DHT11 temperature sensor (122), a visual detection module (130) including webcam (131), OpenCV-based face detection processing unit (132), and Dlib-based eye aspect ratio calculator (133), and an alert generation module (140) with LCD display unit (141) and buzzer (142). The system continuously monitors heart rate, body temperature, and eye closure patterns to detect early signs of operator fatigue. When physiological parameters exceed threshold values or sustained eye closure is detected through EAR computation, the system generates immediate audio-visual alerts to prevent fatigue-related accidents. The invention achieves ninety-five percent detection accuracy with sub-two-second response time, providing a cost-effective and portable solution for industrial workplace safety."
