Genrobotics: Revolutionizing Sanitation with Robotics Genrobotics, based in Kerala, is addressing the critical issue of manual scavenging in India’s waste management sector. Despite being banned in 2013, manual scavenging continues, posing severe health risks and fatalities for workers involved in cleaning manholes and sewers. Genrobotics has developed Bandicoot, a robotic device with sensors and cameras, to eliminate this dangerous practice. The company’s business model focuses on providing these robotic solutions to municipalities and sanitation departments, offering a safe and efficient alternative to manual labor. The Bandicoot is operated via a human-controlled interface and can perform tasks like unclogging and cleaning, making sewer management faster and safer. Through technology, Genrobotics is improving public health and ensuring worker safety, revolutionizing the sanitation system with dignity and efficiency.
