MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641081138 A) filed by Ramachandra College Of Engineering on July 01, 2026, for Automatic Railway Track Crack Detection Robot With Gsm Alert.
Inventors include Y. Lavanya; Y Naveen Kumar; Dr Raju Katru; and A N L Harisha.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: An automatic railway track crack detection robot monitors track integrity in real time. The robot is equipped with sensors and cameras to identify cracks, wear, and other defects. Image processing and signal analysis algorithms detect anomalies along the track. Detected faults are automatically logged with precise location coordinates. A GSM module transmits instant alerts to railway authorities for timely maintenance. The system reduces human inspection effort and enhances safety. The robot is capable of autonomous movement along railway tracks. Real-time monitoring ensures early detection of potential hazards. Data collected supports predictive maintenance and repair scheduling. The design is scalable for long-distance railway networks. Energy-efficient motors and control units enable extended operation. Alerts include severity level, location, and recommended action. Historical data analytics improve track maintenance planning. Remote access allows operators to monitor robot status and inspection results.
