Bandicoot, a robotic scavenger, a sewege cleaning robot, is the ultimate robotic solution when it comes to manhole cleaning involving robotic innovations. (Photo: Facebook/CMOKerala) Kerala may soon become the first state in India to be manual scavenging-free, all thanks to a start-up -- GenRobotics -- and its offering -- Bandicoot -- a robot that can replace humans involved in manual scavenging. To reduce the risks of harmful gases and fluids inside the manhole, the robot has only a few electronics, is water-proof and uses pneumatics. Learning complexity of Bandicoot’s control is low. George says, “Even a person unfamiliar with technology can use it with only a week’s training. The robot is made of resilient carbon nano-fibre. Bandicoot is the key product to the world of innovation. The Bandicoot Robot is patented to Genrobotic Innovations. Bandicoot, thus, is a ray of hope. It never limits the job opportunities for sewer workers rather developing their mode of living. Bandicoot is a four-legged spider-shaped robot that cleans manholes and attaches equipment that can clean sewage lines.

The company intends to … It only requires a person to operate it from a safe distance.

Bandicoot can perform the work of five human beings within minutes, and it is available in automatic and semi-automatic modes.
