|November 13, 2025
Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s #1 connectivity provider, in partnership with the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA), under the Ministry of Environment, has unveiled Sri Lanka’s first 5G-enabled autonomous water-surface cleaning robot. Designed to collect floating waste and monitor environmental conditions in real time, this pioneering innovation demonstrates the transformative potential of 5G in enabling intelligent, sustainable solutions that protect Sri Lanka’s waterways and ecosystems.

The robot combines 5G connectivity, AI, and robotics to navigate lakes, rivers, and canals, collecting floating debris such as plastic bottles, bags, and leaves. It can clean 50-100 acres of surface water per mission and collect up to 50 kg of waste per run, preventing plastics from entering the ocean while supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water.
