Thiruvananthapuram Corporation has commissioned G-Spider, an AI-powered robotic canal cleaning system, at the Amayizhanchan Canal near the railway station, aiming to eliminate manual scavenging and enhance sanitation worker safety. Launched by Minister for Local Self-Governments M.B.
Rajesh, this initiative is a collaboration with Genrobotic Innovations, which also developed the Bandicoot robotic scavenger. Genrobotics will cover the deployment costs, while the Corporation will oversee operations.
The project addresses safety concerns in a high-risk area where manual cleaning has led to serious incidents, including a sanitation worker's death. G-Spider utilizes cable-driven parallel robotics and AI for real-time waste detection and removal, enabling a fully automated cleaning process. Additionally, the state will establish several compressed biogas plants for waste management, with one located in Thiruvananthapuram.
