The Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation deployed the AI-powered G-SPIDER robotic canal-cleaning system at the Amayizhanchan Canal under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0. Developed by Genrobotic Innovations (creators of the Bandicoot robot), G-SPIDER uses Cable-Driven Parallel Robotics (CDPR) for precise movement in narrow canal spaces. It features a five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm with a biomimetic claw grabber to collect mixed and irregular waste without human entry. The system eliminates manual scavenging in hazardous sanitation environments, particularly in the covered stretch beneath Thampanoor Railway Station where conventional cleaning methods are impossible.
