The DustCar garbage bot is another in a long line of garbage collection bots that will one day give rise to Wall-E. Until that day, when the cute square bot inherits and cleans the Earth, we have this rotund garbage robot that takes instructions through a touchscreen mounted on its chest.

The robot moves on tires avoiding obstacles with its built-in recognition system that sports a laser sensor that helps it make distinctions between trash and obstruction. Equipped with a GPS system, the robot takes SMS alerts for chores and can travel up to 16k /h to 24 km/h, whereby it can be left loose to wander from door to door to collect almost 30kg of garbage. Not bad. Not bad.

   Nice work on the blog. I definitely know how hard it can be to start to gain a following! The issues we are facing just seem to get worse and worse and seems like people care less and less. Anyway to 2010 being a greener year!
