The Genesis of Change

Genrobotics was founded by a group of young engineers during their college days, united by a vision to use robotics and AI to solve real-world problems. What moved us most was the harsh reality faced by sanitation workers—people who, for generations, have been forced to enter manholes and sewers to clean them by hand. This inhumane practice, still present in many parts of the world, puts their lives at constant risk and robs them of dignity.

Motivated by empathy and a strong desire to bring change, we developed Bandicoot—the world’s first robotic scavenger. Designed to clean manholes without human entry, Bandicoot marked a major step toward ending manual scavenging. Its success sparked a larger mission: to create robotic solutions that can take on the world’s most dangerous jobs and ensure safety, dignity, and a better quality of life for workers everywhere.
