Self-driving wheelie bin will put itself out on bin day so you don’t have to

Remembering to put the bins out is one of life's constants that we always manage to forget.

You return home to find your bin still overflowing with weeks worth of rubbish, knowing you're in for another fortnight of jumping on cereal boxes to squeeze even more in.

If all this sounds a bit too familiar, a new invention is here to save the day and take the awful job off your hands for good.

Smartcan pairs your bin with an app on your phone, where you can set the date of your bin collections and a location for your bin to take itself on planned intervals.

It works by mounting your wheelie bin to a metallic base which is powered by a pair of AI wheels.

You then place a docking station where you want the bin to wait to be collected and one back by your house so it knows where to return home when it's empty.

Andrew Murray, CEO of makers Rezzi, said: "We want to help people eliminate unnecessary chores from their daily lives," as reported by The Sun .

"We see an opportunity to really help alleviate the burden of the mundane physical tasks that everyone faces."

The website says it aims to provide a smart home device similar to the Roomba, an intelligent hoover which navigates itself around your house, and relieve you of another chore 'that everyone hates'.
