Abu Dhabi Corniche will now be cleaned by a fleet of Robosweeper, autonomous cleaning vehicles, which will provide an advanced cleaning and sanitisation solution using sensors and modern navigation technologies.
Designed for urban environments such as pavements, squares, and pedestrian areas, the Robosweepers move along pre-programmed routes, cleaning without direct human intervention.
Abu Dhabi rolls out Robosweepers
The project was launched by the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). It is developed by K2 subsidiary Autogo under the supervision of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council.
Dr Saif Sultan Al Nasri, Acting Undersecretary at DMT, commented: “The deployment of such technology exemplifies our proactive approach to integrating cutting-edge technology into public infrastructure. By pioneering such solutions, we are actively shaping a future where innovation directly contributes to operational management and enhances the well-being of our community.
“This programme reinforces Abu Dhabi’s global standing as a forward-thinking, highly efficient capital city.”
Dr Abdulla Hamad Al Ghfeli, Acting Director General of the Integrated Transport Centre, added: “The launch of this project reaffirms Abu Dhabi’s commitment to continuing investment in smart and green solutions that advance the transport and public services sector, enhance operational efficiency, and adopt the latest technological innovations in line with global best practices.”
The initiative is another step in the capital’s efforts to build an advanced services system, aligning with the emirate’s strategy for enhanced operational efficiency and quality of life. They will help reduce the reliance on manual labour.
Sean Teo, Managing Director of K2, said: “We are proud to partner with the Integrated Transport Centre and Abu Dhabi Municipality on this venture, which demonstrates our dedication to developing innovative robotics and intelligent service solutions.
“The RoboSweeper devices represent a leap forward in building future cities, and we remain committed to investing in technologies that support Abu Dhabi’s vision and meet the needs of the community, today and in the future.”
