The sludge inside a septic tank contains faecal matter that has thickened like hard clay and settled at the bottom. This is helpful as the openings of the septic tanks are small and the tank interiors are bigger. HomoSEP has a shaft attached to blades that can open like an inverted umbrella when introduced into a septic tank. However, on discussing with workers, they realised that a simpler device more focussed on homogenising the contents of a septic tank would be of greater help and then they set upon the journey of developing HomoSEP. The idea of making a robot that can wade through sewers and septic tanks initially led the group to attempt a fish-like model that could provide an inside look into the contents. The robot, named HomoSEP (“homogeniser of septic tanks”) has taken the group about three years to develop. This is despite bans and prohibitory orders.Ī group from Mechanical Engineering Department and Center for Non-Destructive Testing (CNDE) of IIT Madras has developed a robot that can, if deployed extensively, put an end to this practice of sending people into septic tanks.
