Bandicoot
Manufactured by Genrobotics
The Bandicoot is a specialized sanitation robot designed to eliminate manual scavenging by autonomously cleaning sewer manholes. It features a deployable drone unit with expandable robotic legs for stability, a 6-DOF human-like robotic arm for grabbing, shoveling, and unblocking solid wastes like rocks, sand, silt, sludge, and non-biodegradables, and an integrated waste bucket for extraction. Equipped with 4 HD cameras, gas sensors, and night-vision for real-time 4K video in harsh, corrosive environments, it operates up to 12m depth via a tethered control panel. Used by municipalities for efficient manhole cleaning (30 minutes vs. 3 hours manually), inspection, and sample collection, with IP68 waterproofing and nano-coating for durability in hazardous sewers. Bandicoot Mobility+ variant integrates with vehicles for rapid deployment in urban settings.
