Smart, self-driving systems for cleaner cities
Autonomous waste collection robots are smart, self-driving machines that collect trash and recyclables without human drivers. They use cameras, LiDAR sensors, and GPS to navigate streets, sidewalks, or indoor facilities safely and efficiently.
Some are small robots designed for parks, campuses, and neighborhoods, while others are larger autonomous trucks capable of picking up and emptying waste bins on city streets.
These systems reduce the need for manual waste handling, lower fuel consumption, and improve recycling rates by sorting waste on the spot or directing it to specialized facilities.
In the future, networks of these robots could work together to keep cities clean 24/7, responding to real-time waste data and optimizing collection routes automatically.
