Abstract
Provided is a robotic refuse container, including a chassis; a set of wheels coupled to the chassis; a refuse container coupled to the chassis for collecting refuse; a rechargeable battery; a plurality of sensors; a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations including: detecting, with at least one sensor disposed on the robotic refuse container, an amount of refuse within the refuse container; instructing, with the processor, the robotic refuse container to navigate to a location to empty the refuse upon detecting the amount of refuse exceeds a predetermined refuse amount in the refuse container; and emptying, by a separate device, the refuse within the refuse container at the location.
Claims18
A robotic refuse container, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a set of wheels coupled to the chassis;
- a refuse container coupled to the chassis for collecting refuse;
- a rechargeable battery;
- a plurality of sensors;
- a processor;
- and
- a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, effectuates operations comprising:
- detecting, with at least one sensor disposed on the robotic refuse container, an amount of refuse within the refuse container;
- instructing, with the processor, the robotic refuse container to navigate to a location to empty the refuse upon detecting the amount of refuse exceeds a predetermined refuse amount in the refuse container;
- emptying, by a separate device, the refuse within the refuse container at the location;
- autonomously choosing, by the processor, a schedule for emptying refuse from the refuse container;
- and
- determining, with the processor, the schedule based on a number of operational hours completed since the refuse was last emptied.
