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.
