Arun George, Nikhil NP,

Rashid K and Vimal Govind
MK are the co-founders of
Genrobotics, a company
known for developing

Bandicoot, the world’s first
robotic scavenger designed
for cleaning manholes.
Bandicoot was created to

address the dangerous
and inhumane practice of
manual scavenging, which involves humans cleaning sewers and manholes. This
innovative robot can perform the same task in a safer and more efficient manner,

significantly reducing the risk to workers. The Bandicoot robot has gained recognition
for its ability to safely and autonomously clean sewers, marking a significant
advancement in both robotics and public health.
