MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631051018 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on April 21, for 'self-organizing swarm robots for real-time battlefield supply chain.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ramesh Prasad Sah; Dr. Ashes Maji; and Mr. Suraj Yadav.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a self-organizing swarm robotic system for real-time battlefield supply chain management. The system comprises a plurality of autonomous mobile robots capable of decentralized communication, cooperative decision-making, and adaptive navigation through a distributed control architecture. Each robot independently evaluates its operational suitability based on parameters such as energy level, payload capacity, location, and environmental risk, and collectively negotiates supply missions without reliance on centralized control. The system supports real-time demand detection, dynamic task allocation, and autonomous route planning using onboard sensing and threat-aware navigation algorithms. The swarm further exhibits self-healing behavior by automatically redistributing tasks and reconfiguring operations in the event of robot failure or communication loss. The proposed system significantly reduces human involvement, improves logistical efficiency, and enhances mission reliability and survivability in hostile and dynamic operational environments."
