Co-funded by the European Commission, the Dustbot is a US$3.9 million project that aims to create a moderately-sized trash collector robot that can navigate through narrow streets that huge garbage trucks can’t reach. The Dustbot can also analyze the quality of the surrounding air using its sensors to measure the amount of pollutants like sulfur oxide, benzene, ozone, and nitrogen oxide. I hope that the Dustbot will be equipped with a self defense system that can protect itself from thieves who want to steal this expensive robot. Video after the jump.
