Why Bandicoot Mini ?
Compact, Green, and Efficient
Bandicoot Mini is our most compact, affordable and green solution designed specifically for preventive maintenance in sewer systems. By integrating innovative Green Engineering principles and harnessing solar power, the Bandicoot Mini Electric emerges as the pinnacle of efficient and sustainable sanitation for regular upkeep.
Its streamlined design effortlessly navigates tight spaces, making it ideal for routine cleaning in narrow lanes and congested areas. However, it's important to note that the Mini is not designed for tough situations like heavily blocked or overflowing manholes. For such demanding scenarios, our more powerful Bandicoot or Bandicoot Mobility+ models are the recommended solutions.

Transforming the Lives of
Sanitation Workers
More Than Just a Robot
Our robots represent far more than technological advancement; they serve as catalysts for meaningful social transformation. By removing the need for human entry into hazardous confined spaces, they uphold the dignity of frontline workers and transition them into safer, respected, and future-ready roles as Robotic Operators.
Through comprehensive training and capability building programs, workers acquire the technical proficiency to operate and maintain these advanced systems. This transformation not only elevates their livelihood and safety but also integrates them into a modern, technology-driven workforce. The result is a stronger sense of confidence, pride, and long-term socio-economic progress.
#MissionRobohole
Transforming Manholes to Roboholes
#MissionRobohole is our dedicated initiative, in collaboration with NSKFDC (National Safai Karamcharis Finance and Development Corporation), aimed at completely eradicating the demeaning practice of manual scavenging in India.
This mission focuses on converting hazardous manholes into 'roboholes' – spaces cleaned safely and efficiently by robots like Bandicoot. More importantly, it's about transforming the lives of sanitation workers by upgrading their skills and providing them with dignified employment as 'Robotic Operators'. We are diligently working to redefine the Indian sanitation system through technology and empowerment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of Bandicoot Mini?
+
Bandicoot mini enables fully mechanised, safe manhole cleaning in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, eliminating the need for manual entry and protecting workers while improving efficiency.
Can the Bandicoot mini handle heavily blocked or overflowing manholes?
+
The Bandicoot mini comes with a 20-litre collection bucket. While effective for moderate blockages, it is best suited for areas with lower population density and less frequent heavy blockages. For highly congested manholes, the standard Bandicoot is recommended.
How does the solar power feature work?
+
The solar feature provides auxiliary power to maintain battery charge during field operations, reducing dependency on electrical charging and supporting extended deployment.
Can the Multi-Terrain Wheels handle rough Indian roads?
+
Yes. The Multi-Terrain Wheels provide stability and traction on uneven, slippery, or partially submerged surfaces, allowing reliable operation across urban and semi-urban roads.
