The robot at the international airport will take care of cleaning the canals and removing rainwater. Airport robots will soon be a familiar sight in India. At Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in the southern state of Kerala, robots may be utilized for cleaning for the first time in an Indian airport. The most current advancement in this technology is this.
The robot would be used for cleaning duties by Generobotic Innovations, a robotics company, according to stories published in the local press. The robot at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport will take care of cleaning the canals and removing rainwater.
The airport operator, Adani Enterprises, has made a judgment on this, according to the sources. The robot should be delivered in sixty days, according to Vimal Govind, CEO of Genrobotic, who spoke with the Manoramaonline website.
Wilboar is the robot that Genrobotic defines as a “cutting-edge robotic rover designed for efficiently cleaning sludge and waste within large industrial confined spaces.” It’s being called the first robotic scavenger ever made by some people.
Last month, while cleaning a canal that had been flooded by recent Monsoon rains, Joy, a sanitation worker, disappeared. The robots from Genrobotic were used in the massive search operations. After several days of intensive searches throughout the southern state, Joy’s life could not be saved.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the robots that ventured into the search area in spite of the heavy rain. The robots Bandicoot and Draco cleared the canal and helped with the hopeless attempt to save Joy. Nonetheless, the utilization of robots caught the attention of airport administrators, sparking conversations over their application within the airport.
Prospects for the Future and the Growth of Robotic Use
In 2017, Bandicoot was introduced to clean manholes. Draco was used to search the location of Joy’s disappearance.
In the future, the company intends to deploy more robots for rescue and emergency response tasks.
Terminal automata: A new trend in Indian culture
The usage of robots in airports has been done before. Designed to welcome and meet travelers, RADA is a robot that was introduced in 2018 at Delhi International Airport. Raiding the floor of the airport and answering questions from visitors, TCS Thiruvananthapuram formed RADA.
