World Expo Robot Custodian

Reading time 1 minute

Another day, another robotic debut at the Aichi World Expo. Subaru shows off their RoboHiter, which is effectively a street cleaning robot. It’s equipped with GPS and position recognition and uses laser sensors and triangulation to, you know, move around and stuff. The RoboHiter “cleans floors and can pick up a garbage can” and will work with two other RoboHiters to confirm an area has been cleaned before moving to the next. And being made by Subaru, I’m sure it has all-wheel drive, too. Even still, they have the cutest little cartoonscapes on the side to remind you that even street cleaning can be fun!
