...the SmartCan is one of those rare home-focused robots that could...actually deliver some genuinely useful functionality...Using a companion app, the SmartCan will follow a pre-programmed schedule and automatically drive itself to a curbside drop off point on garbage pickup days, and then autonomously return to wherever you keep them parked the rest of the week — Gizmodo
While the SmartCan may prove a pragmatic solution for some homeowners, there are still questions of price, which have yet to be revealed, and maintenance, such as charging, risked damage, and owners remembering to keep paths clear, reports Gizmodo.
This will be great in large cities. When your can gets adopted by someone to haul their belongings in we can summon it from half a city away.

Robots rule.
This is hilarious.
do they have snowplow ones? i only need one of these in the winter.
docking station (plate?) looks a wee bit like a tripping hazard.
This might be practical in a place with no pranksters. But it could be delightful otherwise...imagine relocating all the docking stations...could you make all the trashcans dance?

Seems stupid at first, but great for long icy driveways and old people
Old people, like children, should not be living alone.
Does it fight off the raccoons and rats that eat through the plastic to get to garbage...
