Battery operated autonomous robotic trash can carrier

A battery operated trash can carrier (100) for holding and transporting one or more containers, the carrier comprising:

• a frame (102) having a laterally facing opening defining an entry means adapted to slidably and removably receive the one or more containers on a platform (104) enclosed in the frame (102), wherein the frame (102) comprises at least one ramp (106) enabling laterally facing opening at corresponding side of the frame (102) to load and unload the one or more containers on the platform through the at least one ramp (106), and wherein the at least one ramp (106) is electronically deployable upon sensing a presence of the one or more containers in nearby proximity and folds during the transport of the carrier from one place to another;
• a wheel base removably connected to the frame below the platform, said wheel base comprising at least two axles (108-1, 108-2) having a pair of wheels on one axle (108-1) and a pair of wheels on second axle (108-2);
• a detachable power drive (110) coupled to the wheel base within adjacent one end of said frame (102) to power the pair of wheels on the at least one of the axle (108-1 or 108-2) and to steer the pair of wheels on the another axle, such that at the pair of wheels transport carrier from one place to another;
• wherein the frame (102) is an elongated, substantially rectangular frame having a size to permit it to be laterally removably received within a pair of opposed slots formed in an inner portion of the wheel base.
