MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611065181 A) filed by Aditya Neil Banerjee on May 23, 2026, for Decentralized Robotic Buoy System With Virtual Anchoring And Tiny-Ml Based Edge Anomaly Detection For Water Quality Monitoring.
Inventor includes Aditya Neil Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: DECENTRALIZED ROBOTIC BUOY SYSTEM WITH VIRTUAL ANCHORING AND TINY-ML BASED EDGE ANOMALY DETECTION FOR WATER QUALITY MONITORING The invention discloses a decentralized, self-propelled robotic buoy system [100] for autonomous water quality monitoring. The system maintains its spatial position via a virtual anchoring thruster assembly [160], eliminating the need for physical mooring and reducing benthic impact. To ensure long-term sensor accuracy, the system utilizes a retractable mechanism [140] that houses sensors in a hybrid copper-alloy and UV-C sterilization chamber [130, 150] to mitigate bio-fouling. An onboard Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) engine [190] classifies data locally, activating the communications module [200] only during detected anomalous events. This edge-intelligent power gating ensures energy-neutral operation, allowing for permanent deployment in remote aquatic environments.
