The Saudi Roads and Transport Authority has unveiled a new robotic system designed to clean sewers, drains, and waterlogged roads, particularly during the rainy season. This initiative forms part of the kingdom’s ongoing efforts to enhance road infrastructure and ensure smooth traffic flow while improving the overall quality of life for residents.
Compact and remote-controlled, the robot can operate in narrow and confined spaces, eliminating the need for workers to enter hazardous areas. It effectively removes mud, sand, and debris while operating quietly and producing zero carbon emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional equipment. Its portability also allows for quicker deployment, reducing road closures and cutting down maintenance time.
By adopting this technology, Saudi Arabia is reinforcing its commitment to smart infrastructure and global standards. The Roads and Transport Authority has set ambitious targets, including ranking sixth on the Global Road Quality Index by 2030 and reducing road accident rates to fewer than five per 100,000 people. The robotic cleaning system is a step toward achieving these goals while ensuring safer, more sustainable urban road networks.
