MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511132508 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 27, 2025, for 'smart robotic ironing system with integrated cloth detection and automated pressing mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Richa Sharma; and Pawandeep Kaur.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart robotic ironing system capable of autonomously performing garment pressing through integrated fabric detection, adaptive heat regulation, and robotic movement. The system includes a fabric detection module employing infrared, optical, thermal, or capacitive sensors to classify cloth types and determine appropriate ironing parameters. A microcontroller processes sensor data and dynamically controls a robotic pressing mechanism comprising a heated plate, motorized arm, or roller assembly for uniform wrinkle removal. Temperature and pressure are adjusted in real time based on fabric sensitivity, while a multi-sensor safety subsystem incorporating pressure, motion, thermal, and contact sensors prevents overheating, obstruction, or fabric damage. The system initiates ironing at a minimal temperature, increases heat after fabric identification, and completes pressing through optimized paths. An optional mobile application enables configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates. The invention provides a compact, intelligent, and fully automated garment-care solution for domestic and commercial use."
