MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641065107 A) filed by Srm Trp Engineering College on May 23, 2026, for Enhanced Obstacle Avoidance Robot With Fall Detection.
Inventors include Mrs. S. Deva Priya; Harni S. K; Hepziba Margaret J; Jamunapriya N; and Kalaisudar P.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: This invention describes an enhanced robotic system designed to perform obstacle avoidance and fall detection. The robot uses distance sensors to identify obstacles in its path and automatically changes direction to prevent collisions. A motion sensor is incorporated to detect sudden movements or orientation changes that may indicate a fall event. A microcontroller processes sensor inputs and controls the movement of the robot. The system improves safety and monitoring capabilities and can be used in applications such as healthcare assistance, elderly care, and smart home environments.
