The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), has launched a fleet of robosweeper autonomous cleaning vehicles on the Abu Dhabi Corniche.
The project, developed by K2 subsidiary Autogo under the supervision of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council, will deploy robosweepers, offering an advanced cleaning and sanitization solution using sensors and modern navigation technologies. The units will move along pre-programmed routes and have been designed for urban environments such as pavements, squares and pedestrian. They will reduce the reliance on manual labor, while ensuring optimal public hygiene services.
Dr Saif Sultan Al Nasri, acting undersecretary at DMT, said, “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 program reinforces Abu Dhabi’s global standing as a forward-thinking, highly efficient capital city.”
Dr Abdulla Hamad Al Ghfeli, acting director general of the ITC, 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.”
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 represents 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.”
