MUMBAI, India, Oct. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411030075 A) filed by Bennett University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 14, 2024, for 'robotic prosthetics with enhanced motor control.'

Inventor(s) include Prof. Ajith Abraham; and Prof. Sanjeev Ratna Singh.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a robotic prosthetic foot (100) comprising a core structure (102); a transverse shaft (104) extending laterally from opposing sides of the core structure (102), wherein the transverse shaft (104) comprises motorized actuators (106) to facilitate controlled rotational movements; a pair of pivot bearings (108) located at respective opposing ends of the transverse shaft (104), wherein each pivot bearing (108) provides multi-directional movement and precise alignment; an ankle mimetic structure (110) operatively coupled with the core structure (102), comprising a motor-controlled joint (112) that provides constrained relative movement between the ankle mimetic structure (110) and the core structure (102), wherein the ankle mimetic structure (110) comprising adaptive bearing recesses (114) that interface with the surfaces of the pivot bearings (108), capable of adjusting to optimize alignment and movement based on a user activity; a multi-layered bearing interface (118) at the motor-controlled joint (112), comprising alternating layers to absorb shocks and distribute forces evenly; load distribution plates (118) integrated into the motor-controlled joint (112) adjacent to the adaptive bearing recesses (114), for load distribution and force modulation; and a motor control system (120) embedded within the core structure (102) and connected to the motor-controlled joint (112), wherein the motor control system (120) provides precise control, feedback, and adaptation to the movement patterns of user and terrain changes."
