Kerala polls 2026: ‘Chuvarbot’ robot redefines political graffiti campaigns
Can you imagine an election in Kerala without vibrant political graffiti lining the walls? For decades, these hand-painted symbols and slogans have been a defining feature of the state’s campaign culture. But this election season, a technological twist is turning heads and walls across select constituencies.
Meet ‘Chuvarbot’, a robot designed to paint political graffiti on outdoor surfaces. The name combines ‘Chuvar’, the Malayalam word for ‘wall’, and ‘bot’, reflecting its robotic nature. Built to handle rough and uneven surfaces, the machine is capable of etching party symbols and slogans with precision.
