AI-enabled robotic cleaning system in Thiruvananthapuram set for February trial run

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The project to deploy AI-powered robotic cleaning systems in the Amayizhanchan Canal near Thampanoor railway premises, G Spider – Automated Robotic Solution for Canal Cleaning, is nearing completion, with trial runs expected to begin in the first week of February.

The city corporation has partnered with Genrobotics to introduce an automated cleaning solution in the canal stretch where manual cleaning has proven risky and at times fatal. The initiative follows the tragic death of sanitation worker Joy, who lost his life while clearing waste from the canal.
