MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511127409 A) filed by Pranveer Singh Institute Of Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on Dec. 16, 2025, for 'obstacle avoiding robot car.'
Inventor(s) include Ankit Jain; Dr. Pradeep Gupta; Hradyansh Shukla; Dr. Puspraj Singh Chauhan; Dr. Shailendra Singh; Dr. Imran Ullah Khan; Keshav Kumar; Dr. Rajat Verma; Dr. Nand Kishore Sharma; and Dr. Anita Shukla.
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: "Mobility with obstacle avoidance is the most critical feature of mobile robotics. Without it, robot movement would become encumbered and brittle. The project hence aims to create a robotic vehicle with an inbuilt intelligence that steers itself when an obstacle comes into its path. So, the main point is to protect the robot against any physical damages. This can be designed into an obstacle avoidance robotic vehicle that would use ultrasonic sensors for navigation. A micro-controller (AT mega 328P) powers the whole operation. An ultrasonic sensor detects any obstacles on the way of the vehicle and sends commands to the micro-controller. The micro-controller then sends an alternate course direction to the robot based on the signal from the ultrasonic sensor by energizing the motors interfaced with the micro-controller through a motor driver."
