Harr-e garbage robot takes roadside work away
The Harr-E is not your average bin on the wheels. The robots use AI-enabled sensors, cameras and autonomous navigation to travel across the community. Use the app, or even through a virtual assistant like Alexa or Google Assistant. The robot then rolls quietly from the center hub to your house, opens the lid, takes the trash away, and returns to unload and charge. The idea is simple: your schedule, not the city’s garbage collection.
Plan the community’s autonomous garbage collection
Harr-E is designed for planned communities and commercial parks that have used shared waste facilities. Once the robot drops waste on the wheel hub, traditional trucks still haul it to recycle centers or landfills. This means that when the trash can overflow before the collection day, there is less missed pickups, clean streets and frustration.
