The RoboTrash Machine takes out the trash to the curb for you. It is helpful not only for disabled or elderly people who can’t pull the trashcan themselves, but also for those who don't want to bring out the trash in bad weather.  It has two motors on the back wheels that make it move.  A stepper lifts up a hook to hook on and pull the handle of the trashcan.  Using a remote control, the robot hooks onto the trash can handle and drives down to the curb.  When the trashcan is in place, it unhooks and drives back.  The next step would be to make it completely autonomous and put it on timer so that you don’t even have to think about taking the trash out to the curb!
