With COVID, wildfires, and earthquakes, you no longer have to worry about taking the trash out, thanks to this American Engineer.
Ahad Cove, an American engineer has designed an electric wheelie bin that is capable of exiting the house through a strict schedule, on the designated trash days.
The engineer attached a camera to his regular trashcan, where he recorded the time of the trash men’s arrival and departure. Once they arrive, a signal gets sent to the garage door, which is when it opens up and the futuristic trashcan leaves the house for collection.
The engineer explained the reason behind his invention:
I hate taking out the trash, so I created a self-driving trash can that can take itself out. It uses a small single-board computer and a motor hub with more electronics built in to do all the autonomous driving. Then there’s a camera attached to the window connected to a developer kit that uses AI to detect garbage trucks. Once it detects them, it wirelessly opens the garage and tells the trash can it’s ready.

We might be living through a once-a-century global pandemic and economic crisis, however, we at least lived long enough to see robotic trash cans. If you would like to learn about more COVID innovation, check out this Japanese mask that translates as you speak.
