The robotic manhole cleaner ‘Bandicoot’ now has a smaller cousin.
Named Bandicoot Mini, it is a more compact, less expensive variant, according to Genrobotics Innovations, the Technopark-based company which became a household name with its robotic alternative to manual scavenging.
The shorter, four-wheeled Bandicoot Mini is on display alongside the original version, at the expo at Huddle Global 2023, the startup conclave organised by the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) at Adimalathura near Vizhinjam.
