US and Sweden develop ROBOT called GarbageMan which can be used for Removing Trash In our Neighborhood

Our Next GarbageMan could be a ROBOT

Highly efficient robots on wheels could soon be  removing trash in a neighborhood near you.

Universities in Sweden and the United States, Swedish auto manufacturer VOLVO  is developing these useful  robots, which will be able to roll around a neighbourhood,  pick up waste bins and remove the trash into the back of garbage trucks in this master Robot.

 The project is called Robot-based Autonomous Refuse handling, or ROAR, and while it may have some sanitation workers worried (there are typically human workers on the backs of trucks who manually empty bins), it could be a boon for garbage truck drivers, who would simply need to pull up to the curb and let the robots do the rest.

Drivers will control the Robots using an on board operating system and won't have to do any of the heavy lifting themselves, according to Volvo.

To bring ROAR to life, Volvo recruited robotics from Mälardalen University in Sweden. Students there will help design and build robots that can move discreetly and efficiently from house to house and that are strong enough to pick up heavy bins.

In United States:

The students at Pennsylvania State University's Thomas D. Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute will design the virtual system and control panel that truck drivers need to keep tabs on the trash-toting bots.Finally, the Swedish waste management company Renova will develop a garbage truck that can accommodate the automated system and presumably carry around the robots when they're not hauling trash. The futuristic project is expected to be ready for testing by June 2016.
