The Dustbot is a fully automated garbage collecting robot that can be summoned to one’s home via a cellphone. The robot is an advanced combination of GPS navigation and gyroscopic systems rolling along narrow streets to come get your rubbish. There is currently at least one prototype working in Italy and the Dustbot’s inventors say that they have already gotten some interest to deploy the units elsewhere around the world.

Imagine how much quieter NYC would be if these robots replaced all of the noisy garbage trucks on the road. Thanks Sally!
