March 7, 2026

Recently, under Swachh Bharat Mission–Urban 2.0, Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation has deployed an AI-powered G-SPIDER robot.

About G- SPIDER Robot:

  • It is an automated canal cleaning robot, created by Genrobotic Innovations.
  • It is engineered to operate in complex, high-risk canal environments without any human entry.
  • Features of G- SPIDER Robot:
    • Efficient Operation: It is designed to function efficiently even during high water levels and continuous flow conditions.
    • Advanced Technology:
      • It is built on Cable-Driven Parallel Robotics (CDPR) architecture and powered by AI-enabled vision and sensor intelligence.
      • It has five-degrees-of-freedom robotic mechanism, equipped with a biomimetic claw-type grabber, ensures accurate positioning and secure handling of mixed and irregular debris.
      • It enables precise detection, assessment, and removal of accumulated waste.
      • By using advanced machine vision, the system autonomously identifies and adapts to different waste types, flow conditions, and structural challenges in real time.
    • The extracted waste is directly transferred into designated collection vehicles, enabling a fully hands-free and end-to-end canal cleaning process— from detection to safe disposal.
    • Uninterrupted Maintenance: It ensures uninterrupted and consistent maintenance of urban waterways.
    • Safe Waste Extraction: It is capable of safely extracting mixed and hazardous waste—including plastics, sharp debris, and other harmful materials.
