Chinese Engineers Develop Smart Trash Cans That Catch Trash Mid-Air
Imagine a smart trash can that can catch trash mid-air!
A Chinese team called HTX Studio made this a reality.
Their trash cans use cameras and motors to spot trash and move to catch it.
There are different types, including one that mops the floor and plays games, one for practicing throwing, and one that shoots soft darts.
They all connect to a big trash bin for emptying.
The team also made a robot that gives out gum and a special keyboard.
HTX Studio, a Chinese engineering team, created automated trash cans that catch rubbish mid-air.
The trash cans use cameras and motors to track and intercept trash.
Three specialized bin versions exist: a floor-mopping cleaner, a bin for throwing practice, and a soft dart launcher bin.
All bins can be operated by remote control and empty into a larger "Hesio Mega Band" bin.
HTX Studio previously created a robot that delivers gum and a one-handed keyboard.
